Dead Mans Hand 

2 definitions:

1. (as stated by Wikipedia, the best source to fuck with your teachers): a two-pair poker hand consisting of the black aces and black eights. The pair of aces and eights, along with an unknown hole card, were reportedly held by Old West folk hero, lawman, and gunfighter Wild Bill Hickok when he was shot and killed.

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))

(second definition defined here)

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.

According to legend, Wild Bill Hickok was shot to death in the middle of a poker game with 2 pairs: black aces and black eight's. Noone knows for sure what the kicker was, but from then on black aces and eight's has been called dead man's hand.

Dead Man's Hand 

Historically, the phrase, "Dead Man's Hand" was given to the last poker hand that Wild Bill Hickok had been dealt when he was murdered during a game of five-card-draw. Although there is quite the controversy over what those five cards were or even if there actually were five cards when the infamous Hickok was slain, there appears to be a general mind that he was holding a pair of 8's and a pair of Ace's. However, the most controversial aspect about the poker hand in question, was the the number and suit of the fifth card.

You're about as useful as a "Dead Man's Hand."
