beating a dead horse

It doesn't matter how much you want to continue riding beating a dead horse is not going to get you anywhere.

If something is already done and over with there is no point in still talking about it.

If something is already broken there is no point in trying to use it.
Someone breaks up with there girl/boyfriend and continues to bitch about them to there friends weeks later. That person is beating a dead horse, the relationship is over there is no point in thinking about it since the matter is already resolved with you having broken up.

Relationship = dead horse
Bitching about it = beating it

Trying over and over to start your car after you've been in an accident where it is clear that the car is not going to work.

existential dead

Taking existential dread one step forward. The feeling when you're in a continuous existential crisis so you just go numb and "die" on the inside.

Just like you experience existential dread you also experience existential dead.

Left 4 Dead Rage

Rage built up by playing Left 4 Dead 1 or 2, usually occurs from the game not loading on the first, second or tenth time. Sudden connection loss during a really good and close game of Left 4 Dead versus. Or when after waiting a while to finally get a versus game going one of the sides quits when it doesn't win the first level in a crushing victory. And finally horrible connection lag when playing a good game, often leading to poor aim, not being able to help a teammate quickly, or, if playing as infected, accidently spawning in front of the humans with enough time for them to kill you before you can do anything.
It's that Left 4 Dead Rage, it'll get to you.
