beat a dead horse

The act of pushing onward when a decision has already been made and will not change.



beat a dead horse
the beating refers to the overusing of the "dead horse". Said horse is a metaphor for a joke, and the fact that it's no longer living implies that it's no longer funny
Example:
person1:hey...is that a dead horse
person2:uhhh.....yyy..yes i believe it is...why do you ask?
person1:oh no reason...say...you wouldn't wanna beat that dead horse would you?
person2:i thought you'd never ask
persons1+2 proceed in beating the dead horse
five minutes later, cop enters
cop:hey are you beating that dead horse?
persons1+2:yes...
cop:...well...care if i join you?
persons1+2:not at all
cop starts shooting horse whilst the tho persons continue to beat it with sticks, fade to black, THE MORE YOU KNOW enters along with someone from Friends talkin' about some stupid crap.THE END...But is that really the end?...Yes, yes it is...Or is it?


beating a dead horse
It doesn't matter how much you want to continue riding beating a dead horse is not going to get you anywhere.

If something is already done and over with there is no point in still talking about it.

If something is already broken there is no point in trying to use it.
Example:
Someone breaks up with there girl/boyfriend and continues to bitch about them to there friends weeks later. That person is beating a dead horse, the relationship is over there is no point in thinking about it since the matter is already resolved with you having broken up.

Relationship = dead horse
Bitching about it = beating it

Trying over and over to start your car after you've been in an accident where it is clear that the car is not going to work.

Broken Car = dead horse
Trying to start it = beating it

beat the dead horse
An instance in which the "beater" of the horse will continue to try and make amusing comments until either
A.) Somebody makes a "pity laugh" (this is usually the person who originally told the joke) or:
B.) Everyone leaves.

This is a common occurrence when a moderately funny person loses their game, and is convinced that they are not off of their game.
Example:
