Term coined by the Florida Gulf Coast University powerlifting team. Term refers to days when a member of the FGCU powerlifting team is lifting particularly heavy weights; specifically the deadlift due to the incredibly loud slamming noise the lift causes when the weight is dropped on the floor. The term was later discovered by Lil Wayne and Eminem and they decided that awesome song in our memory.

An expression not to be taken literally.
A dramatic way of explaining the status of being so overworked, stressed out, sleep deprived, and/or having so much schoolwork that a person feels forced to freeze all social interactions for an extended period of time.
Typically used in the form of a declaration, as in "I am now 'dead to the world'"
This expression is especially useful when young people live in close quarters with one another such as in a college dormatory. It is commonly acceptable for a person who declares him/herself "dead to the world" to break off all non-essential communications (such as Facebook) and not to show up to planned events or meetings. No further notice should be required aside from the basic declaration.
It is the sociological equivalent of the automatic stay in Bankruptcy law. In theory, the declaration of one's "death to the world" provides both a convenient excuse and a temporary protective injunction against social obligations or expectations.
This expression is typically written as a Facebook status or on a whiteboard in plain view of its intended audience. Declarants of their death "to the world" should be teased in a friendly or sarcastic way for thinking that by hiding from their friends they will be able to squeeze out an extra ounce of productivity. Declarants should ideally be made to think that declaring death to the world is futile, because a life without friends, even temporarily, is an offense against the fundamental values of humanity. Thus, declaring oneself "dead to the world" presents a paradox. It is a form of self-destruction or sacrifice that simultaneously preserves the self from the shame of failing to meet professional expectations.
If a declarant is caught engaging in a social activity and he/she has not revoked the declaration, he/she must receive harsh scorn from friends. The typical response to such a scenario is to heckle the declarant with the following formulation: "Hey, jerk, you said you were dead to the world!"

"Damn, my boss just gave me some really short deadlines. I'm going to have to declare myself dead to the world in order to survive this."
"X is now dead to the world for the month of August, may God have mercy on his soul."
-scrawled on a dry erase board hanging on X's door inside a college dormatory
"My last year of law school I declared myself dead to the world. My friends never forgave me, but it all worked out in the end."

Another word for "bukake" based on the motion that the World Series champions make in the locker room after winning when shaking champagne bottles, leading to 25 men eventually exploding at the same time.

A game that is so addictive, you won't realize how shitty and pointless it really is until you've wasted your life and lost all your friends.
