dead horse race

Going nowhere (if you can imagine a race track with a bunch of dead horses, you get the picture).

This baseball game is taking forever... tied at the 19th inning... it's a real dead horse race.

Blogging A Dead Horse

When a troll continues arguing in a flame war thread that is long dead as both sides have made all of their points and have stopped caring.

Offenders are typically crying for attention, with have low self esteem and attention deficit problems.

Similar to the traditional "flogging a dead horse".

Pseudo-intellectual 1: Well I don't want to say too much on the topic, but: ... (5 paragraphs of opinionated rant).

Pseudo-intellectual 2: I support this, and would like to further add: ... (3 paragraphs of rhetorical questions and half-baked psycho-analysis).

<Thread Dies>

<2 weeks later>

Ring-in: This isn't really my argument but in my opinion both sides are wrong. I don't want to say a lot but... (10 paragraphs of literary quotes, topical allusions and first year philosophy diploma name dropping).

Observer: Doesn't this ring-in know that he's blogging a dead horse?

beat the dead horse

To continue jacking off after ejaculation.

Henry: "Yeah bro me and my friends were all sitting around a fire, just beating the dead horse!"

Joe: "Be careful man! If you beat the dead horse too much you could get a 90 degree angle cock from that!"

Henry: "You only get one life joe, live it up."

dead horse cliché

A cliché in popular fiction that was common at one point in time, but has become so overused that it no longer has any relevance, so whenever it's used consecutively, it is as though the writers are "beating up a dead horse".

Mick: You know what I hate? That new music video by Chris Brown. It's basically a Michael Jackson rip-off with triads.
Fred: Triads? That's been a dead horse cliché since the last decade.
Mick: Yeah, they're just beating up a dead horse.

Beating Off A Dead Horse

To continue trying to beat off a horse when it clearly isn't going to work anymore due to lack of blood flow.

Dude: I was out beating off a dead horse last night, but may hand started to cramp up, so i just went home instead.

beating the dead horse

Beating a dead horse is alot loke selling out- you just go a bit overboard with it. If people say you're beating a dead horse, you need to stop what you're doing ad re-evaluate your decisions.

Man, Supernatural won't stop beating the dead horse until it stops shitting out money.

harry potter and the dead horse

The eighth book in the Harry Potter series. All copies of this book will be invisible to everyone except the owner, due to illegal book sharing, so everyone has to get their own copy instead of borrowing others, seeing as J.K. Rowling is a poor, struggling artist who needs every bit of profit she can get... right. (sarcasm, for those who didn't recognize it)

Person 1: OMFG! Harry Potter and the Dead Horse is coming out! Gee, I wonder why it has such a weird title... what do you think?
Smart Person: personally, I think it's no use beating a dead horse, like J.K. does... jeez, it must be fuckin' horseburger by now... figuratively speaking.
Person: Oh. I still don't get it.
Smart Person: See what I mean...
