2. When an individual has some catastrophic blackmail on someone else but only chooses to use it as a last resort (loosely based off Russia's dead hand (go look that up))

Person 1: Yo, how did Mark get fired? Wasn't he a model employee?
Person 2: Yeah, but he was fucking with the wrong guy for too long, then that guy recorded him saying some of the foulest fucking shit ever, and then he showed their boss.
Person 1: Seems a little excessive.
Person 2: Well, that was his dead mans hand. He tried to resolve the situation by literally any other means, but Mark just keep pushing his luck.
Person 1: Well, I guess that's fair.

Get the Dead Mans Handmug. by destroyer of memes April 15, 2015
Get the dead man's handmug. The result of an epic Pac Man gaming session. The hand is tight like a claw, and generally the thumbs, wrists and fingers are unusable. Like RSI, but with more immediate effects.
The condition can also be brought on by other arcade and console games especially if you are the competitive sort and are a bit heavy handed with the joystick/controller.
