A term used to describe the time between the last finals of Yale and the official Commencement activities. As tradition in recent generations, graduating seniors travel during this time (especially to Myrtle Beach, SC). Other underclassmen participating or working for graduation all move to Old Campus housing. There are no planed events and thus they must just wait for Dead Week to end and graduation to start (the YPMB is famous for having a film festival with each class making a film during Dead Week--including a Junior feature length film--that is screened at the end of Dead Week).
Yalie K: "I am so excited to just party and do nothing during Dead Week."
Yalie T: "I am too but know that I will be freaking out about finishing papers that I could not get done."
Yalie K: "You are stupid! Dead Week is when you are done with school and can just day drink at Yale."

Originiating from the movie of the same name. The idea is that if one's roommate at college were to suddenly die then that other person would get straight a's for the rest of the school year. For one can't seriously be thought to continue on with there studies if they are mourning the death of their roommate.

The term comes from a character in the James Clavell novel, “Taipan”. A character in that novel, a lady executive has the objective to have “drop dead money”. The “drop dead money” is that amount of money that she calculates she needs so that she would have the freedom and the luxury to tell anyone to “drop dead” without worrying about her financial security.
To accumulate this “drop dead” money she had been working hard for a businessman who had promised her a bonus equivalent to the “drop dead money” if she could pull off a successful acquisition.

Historically, the phrase, "Dead Man's Hand" was given to the last poker hand that Wild Bill Hickok had been dealt when he was murdered during a game of five-card-draw. Although there is quite the controversy over what those five cards were or even if there actually were five cards when the infamous Hickok was slain, there appears to be a general mind that he was holding a pair of 8's and a pair of Ace's. However, the most controversial aspect about the poker hand in question, was the the number and suit of the fifth card.
You're about as useful as a "Dead Man's Hand."

You and 3 other people fight off a zombie horde and try to make your way to safety. The zombies are like speedy Gonzales, but faster, so you'll probably die, very quick. You have to survive different places such as a hospital, farm, apartment building, subway, street and a airfield. yeah, left 4 dead has you kill zombies in a airfield. badass. Something also worth mentioning Is that Left 4 Dead has some tricky ninja-like bastard called the "A.I. Director" who watches your every move and decides whether and when you should die. You cannot kill the A.I. director, he's like a god or something. The A.I. Director spawns the zombies based on where you are, It's never the same. So If your getting a drink, or something, that prick will kill you off for shits and giggles. There Is also boss infected In the game, Such as The boomer, He's a fatass and likes to vomit on people. He also explodes, watch out for that. The Tank, imagine a army tank that grew arms and legs and tried to kill you and stuff... actually, that's pretty awesome when you think about It. The witch, She's a bitch. The hunter, He chills like a cool dude then leaps nine-thousand feet into the airs and land on you and after that follows a bunch of scratching or something that apparently Is very deadly as a billion gallons of blood splatters everywhere. The smoker, he has a quadtrillionbillionzilliongogzillfillion foot long tongue that grabs you. If you kill him he turns into a bunch of smoke... I'm done typing.

A girl/women who loves the dead. Loves to watch zombie movies and can handle anything incredibly brutal on tv. Would love to have a career in anything involving the dead. A women who watches more grusom things than anyone she knows. Loves to watch and learn, but will not go as far as doing the nasty with corpses, or going to cemetaries and digging up corpses. Or anything like that.
"Are you going to watch that new zombie flick with Kathryn?"
"Yeah dude! She's the only girl who can handle watching stuff that brutal, she's the original living dead girl!"
"I hear ya."
