Dead Horse

A name for a person who declines an invitation to a social situation or event, without a valid excuse. Usually occurs when someone is invited out but decides to stay in for the night simply because they are "kind of tired".

Mike: Hey Brad I'm on my way I'll be at your place in 20 mins to start pregaming.

Brad: Where is Will? I thought he said he was coming?

Mike: Nah he is being a dead horse. He decided to stay in by himself and solojerk to Netflix instead. F him

Brad: F it

dead horse

in the salvage trade a dead horse is something you got for little or nothing because the former owner really wanted to get rid of it. a pallet of computer monitors the bank gave away is a dead horse. the trick is to sell the best parts as horse meat, the not so best parts as dog food,and give the rest away before it starts to stink and you have to pay to dispose of it. making money on dead horses is a skill that takes years to learn.

old computer parts,old computer monitors(disposal costs), paint (disposal costs), anything that you have to pay to get rid of. i got a load of paint for $1 a can. i hope the paint is useable, or that dead horse will really stink.

beat the dead horse

An instance in which the "beater" of the horse will continue to try and make amusing comments until either
A.) Somebody makes a "pity laugh" (this is usually the person who originally told the joke) or:
B.) Everyone leaves.

This is a common occurrence when a moderately funny person loses their game, and is convinced that they are not off of their game.

The perfect example of beat the dead horse.

MD: "Yo wassup homeslice! I was just chillin like a felon up in hurr."

AS: "umm cool"
MD: "Damn staraight Gangsta. I'z with all ma peeps."

MD: "You know what else is great? My dick!" (MD laughs at his own joke, hoping others will too.)
WH: "shut the hell up mark youre not funny"
JB: "Whack! Whack! Whack! Neeeiiigh!!"
MD: "Peace out haters"
