dead of the night

That time, around 3:30 AM, after most of the night owls have gone to bed but before most of the early birds get up. The greatest percentage of people are simultaneously asleep at this time.

I awoke from my dream in the dead of the night.

dead week

At any major college or university, the week before finals are administered and most major projects and assignments are due for submission. The late night working and hardcore studying for finals gives the students a zombie like atmosphere, and causes an eerie silence and many blank, unseeing expressions.

Man, this place is silent. Whats goin on?
Dead week man. Killer.

dead-end job

Employment in a menial job which usually requires minimal skills, offers little pay, and has few or no opportunities for a promotion or advancement within the company. See McJob.

I've worked cleaning tables at this restaurant for three years making minimum wage, and no matter how hard I try to impress the managers, open management positions are always given to college-educated applicants who have never even worked with the company. I'm sick and tired of this hopeless, dead-end job.

dead mall

An enclosed or non-enclosed shopping facility with a high vacancy rate. Typically redeveloped into other uses, commonly a Wal-Mart Supercenter-anchored plaza.

That dead mall was torn down in 2003 to make way for a new Wal-Mart.

dead week

The week before finals when being dead sounds more attractive than studying.

Also known as the week where you will see the most strangers crying.

My first dead week hit me so hard that one night I just stood in a corner for five hours whispering to myself

Dead Meme

A meme that has become irrelevant or unfunny, often due to age or overly cringeworthy use.

A Dead Meme does not have to be old; many people still continue to make Shrek jokes despite the many years since original thread.

Often times a Dead Meme can be revived, if only self-referential, or satirical. If not, it can be considered quite annoying for a Dead Meme to be used.

Person 1: Hey, remember that turning around dramatic chipmunk thing?

Person 2: Yeah, it's such a dead meme.

Person 1: I heard it got on the front page of imgur the other day.

***

Person 1: Ain't nobody got time fo--

Person 2: No, stop.

Person 2: That meme is dead as fuck.
