A book written, in six parts, by Steven King, about life on a prison bloc and the lives of some of the inmates, such as Delacroix and John Coffee. Was also made into a movie. The title comes from the hallway inmates walk down before they are to be executed by electric chair.
When John Coffee walked to the chair, no one had the balls to cry "Dead man walkin' on the green mile!"
Something you say when you're heading towards the inevitable. Usually either impending pain or doom awaits you. Intended to be humorous, or as a reminder that others have suffered worse and you now join their ranks.
The Green Mile was a shortwalk prisoners had to walk before facing execution. To say "Walking the Green Mile" was a way to tell other prisoners that you wouldn't be coming back from where the guards were taking you.
"Walking the Green Mile, better get right with Jesus."
Little Tommy said "Walking the Green Mile." when they called him to the principal's office.
Goobs said "Walking the Green Mile." as he approached the restroom after a 5 daypizza binge.
the green mile is when you drive back to school after skipping class to smoke pot. the only parking spots that are left are at the end of the parking lot, so the walk back to school seems like a "mile" because its long and because of the fact your ripped out of your gord from all the bud you smoked, thus the "green". Then theres the analogy to deathrow as there are about 500 windows in the school and all that has to happen is a faculty member see you coming back from off campus high and your dead.
dude wheres brian? ah hes fucked man he got caughtwalking the green mile.
