Example: Beat a dead horse

  1. You whip a horse to go faster
  2. It dies from being whipped too much

  4. You continue to whip it

    In Northern Ireland (Belfast especially), we sometimes say “bout ye?” as a greeting. It’s just “what about you?” but actually meaning “how are you?”

    Often it’s just used as an alternative to “hello” or “hi”, and you’re not actually asking the person how they are.
