In the coffin 

When someone is a metalhead but hasn't told anyone yet.
It's used similarly to In the closet, but it's more metal.

Newfound metalheads fear being ostracized by their friends and family for not adhering to what is commonly considered a "normal music taste". They can spend years in the coffin as a result.

Please help fight this horrible guilt they feel inside and preach for #metalacceptance

Prime Rib: "Good to see you, how are 'ya?"
Striploin: "Kinda something I want to talk to you about, actually."
Prime Rib: "Umm, sure.."
Striploin: "So lately I've been feeling a lot more confident as a person and I feel you should really know something about me that you probably didn't see coming."
Prime Rib: "You're scaring me, dude."
Striploin: "I think I'm a metalhead."
Prime Rib: "Wow. I can't say i'm not surprised. How long have you been in the coffin?

another nail in the coffin

Smoking a cigarette. Smoking is considered deadly, so each cigarette is another nail in the coffin.

I'm gonna light up and put another nail in the coffin.

Part of the phrase, "the last nail in the coffin" or "another nail in the coffin". Equivalent to "the last straw". A very old phrase.

He cheated on her again? That's got be the last nail in the coffin.

The 9/11 attacks were another nail in the Ansett coffin; it was now inevitable that the airline would collapse.

nail in the coffin 

The death of the rapper, Benzino! Eminem fucking spit bar-after-bar right at his throat, each diss more savage than the last! The line where Benzino just died instantly was:

Slap my mom! Slap the fuck out of her
She can't sue you, she wouldn't get a buck out of ya
'Cause you're broke as fuck, you suck, you're a fuckin' joke
If you was really sellin' coke, well, then what the fuck
You stop for, dummy? If you slew some crack
You'd make a lot more money than you do from rap

It was too much for Benzino to handle! RIP Benzino!

Eminem put a nail in the coffin and ended Benzino!
