Walking Dead Zone 

A Walking Dead Zone is an area for people with mobile phones who are currently experiencing the inconvenience of not being able to transmit to a nearby mobile site, base station, or any other similar Wi-Fi points of access. In these areas, the mobile phone is said to be in a state of outage. Walking Dead Zones is usually where Wi-Fi service is not available because the signal between the handset and mobile site antennas is blocked or severely reduced, usually by hilly terrain, spooky graveyards, dense foliage, physical distance, or interference from the Talking Dead. This will cause most mobile phone users who have no means of transportation to keep “walking “ until they are finally within range of a verifiable signal. Some of these Talking Dead who are traversing the Walking Dead Zones, have been known to utter out incoherent ramblings, such as, “Out of range!” “Out of range!”
Kelly: “Where’d Derek go, Brandon?”
Brandon: “Him and a few of his friends are in a Walking Dead Zone, somewhere between here and the abandoned church.

Kelly: “Well, he better hurry up and get back here in time for The Walking Dead ‘else I’m gonna start watching The Jerry Springer Show, I’m a telling you what!”

Development Dead Zone 

These are areas in a town that is experiencing growth in one area while another has no growth and may be decaying, sometimes to the point of urban blight.
The street on the west side of town is getting all sorts of big box stores. On the east side of town it is a development dead zone with just a gas station, an old motel, and a run-down restaurant.

The Dead Zone 

Used by players of the MMORPG World of Warcraft.
It refers to the space where a hunter cannot reach his/her enemy because it is too far away for melee weapons and too close for ranged weapons.
Hunter player: I got killed! Those druids keep standing in my dead zone!

Druid player: Lol, dude! I totally pwned that huntard from the dead zone!

The Dead-zone 

A really slow night of sales, particularly pertaining to bar and restaurant business.

A type of punishment your partner puts you in. (This is similar to being in the doghouse.)

A type of immune response that may take a week or so to recover before returning to work. (Usually happens with people of low stamina and thin blood.)
Man last Tuesday was the lamest night of sales in a long time! It was like the Dead-zone got resurrected and then just suddenly shriveled and died!

Dead Zoned 

When you express your feelings for another person and they not only reject those feelings, they completely ignore you and any contact you make.
"Yo I tried to talk to Derrick after I told him how I felt but he dead zoned me. I haven't heard from him in a month."
"Bruh, Kesha told me the other day that she's pregnant, Ima have to dead zone her man she trippin."
