dead tree

A hard copy of a book. That is, a physical series of papers, composed primarily of non-living organic matter originating from trees, that are bound together into a single volume.

Carrying all these dead trees around campus is really hurting my back.

dead tree

Pejorative for paper, books, and other hard copies that required killing of trees in order to produce them.

Often used when one prefers an electronic version or submission of a product otherwise seen on paper.

"Hello, Clive. Do you accept online dropbox submissions of our homework, or are we compelled to take from the environment by printing out and submitting dead trees to your desk every Thursday?"

Dead tree's revenge

The experience one has, when they have a paper cut in between two of their fingers or toes.

"OUCH gosh, that paper cut hurts! Have you ever had one between your fingers?"
"Oh yes, that's called the dead tree's revenge."
