Death flag 

The point where a person's death becomes highly probable or unavoidable, due to something that he or she has just said or done. May also refer to the phrase or action itself.

Ways to make a death flag:
- achieve 999 straight victories
- teach your pupil everything you know
- propose to someone before going to war
- get seriously wounded and tell your mates you'll be "fine"
- invite a detective to your next family reunion on an island
- reassure a small child that no enemy has attacked your city in 100 years
- point out the glaring lack of giant parasitic wasp swarms in your current life

"Gee, you know, the only thing that could ruin this great wedding right now is a giant swarm of parasitic wasps."

Death Flag 

An instance where a character is subject to extreme danger foreshadowed with grim implications.

Examples of Death Flagging:

Unknowingly ticking off a unstable individual.

Wondering into a zone at the wrong time.

Taking on a dangerous deed with slim chances of success.

Short sighted approach to a ludicrous event.

Death Flag 

Something (such as a phrase or action) in a movie or TV show that hints a character is going to die. Usually the more death flags they rack up, the higher the probability they will die.

Examples of a Death Flag include:
-Aggravating an important character, such as a king.
-Unknowingly ignoring signs a person is a psycho.
-Telling someone everything will be okay.
-Boasting about how lucky you are to be alive after a certain deadly event.
-Running into danger because you think you are a strong boi and will become a chick magnet.
-Running into danger because you underestimate the enemy.
-Killing innocents and expecting to be forgiven.
-Being a teacher of the next warrior and teaching them everything you know.
-If in animation, being poorly detailed and bland means that the animators know the person will die so they don't bother making the person look good.
-Investigating a noise you heard at night when home alone.

"Huh? What was that noise? I have to check it out because that's not a stupid decision at this time while no one can hear me screaming for my life as I'm killed."

Our Flag Means Death 

A show about gay pirates. It is very good but not historically accurate.

All of the main characters have at least one homoerotic scene.

Person 1: Yo, have you seen Our Flag Means Death yet?
Person 2: No, sounds really sad.
Person 1: You'd be surprised, but you're not actually wrong.

Our Flag Means Death 

A.K.A The gay pirate show. Fun to watch and cringy in all the best ways. Lots of quotable lines.
Taika Waititi is Blackbeard for some reason, and apparently, he did little to no research on the real character for the role and simply did whatever the fuck he wanted in the show. Somehow it worked. If you like this show, you're most likely fruity.

P1: Yo check out my new suit
P2: You wear fine things well
P1: Oh my god stop quoting Our Flag Means Death

Deathflash

Seeing something that is obviously very dangerous and involuntarily imagining yourself being the mortal victim of the dangerous place or object. To some it's an Omen never to be ignored.

I just had a Deathflash of me driving off this steep mountain road. whoa! I better be careful from now on.

Jeez I just had a Deathflash of me getting skewered by that Rebar down there. I think I'll work on the ground the rest of the day.
