Re: Phrases that have had their day?

[(Anonymous)]

All these phrases mean something. "To run around like a chicken with its head cut off" means hurrying about frantically and accomplishing nothing of use because you're acting without thinking; to kill two birds with one stone is to achieve two goals at once, and to beat a dead horse is to continue doing something useless long after its uselessness is obvious, with the notion that if you just persevere long enough, you'll get the result you want. The reason we use these phrases is that they express these ideas tersely through a vivid image. Of course you could use a lot of dry words like I did, but the metaphor is quicker and punchier.
