<p>82.203.3.6: /* Earlier meaning */</p> <hr /> <div>{{Wiktionarypar|beat a dead horse}}<br /> :''For the Sex Pistols album, see [[Flogging a Dead Horse]]''<br /> <br /> '''Beating a dead horse''' is an [[idiom]] which means a particular request or line of conversation is already foreclosed, mooted, or otherwise resolved, and any attempt to continue it is futile. In [[British English]], the phrase is usually rendered as '''flogging a dead horse''' <br /> <br /> The first recorded use of the expression with its modern meaning is by British politician and orator [[John Bright]], referring to the Reform Bill of 1867, which called for more democratic representation in [[Parliament of the United Kingdom|Parliament]], and which Parliament was singularly apathetic about. Trying to rouse Parliament from its apathy on the issue, he said in a speech, would be like trying to '''flog a dead horse''' to make it pull a load. The Oxford English Dictionary cites ''the Globe'', 1872, as the earliest verifiable use of '''flogging a dead horse''' , &lt;blockquote&gt;<br /> For..twenty minutes..the Premier..might be said to have rehearsed that..lively operation known as flogging a dead horse.<br /> &lt;ref&gt;1872 Globe 1 Aug. 3/1&lt;/ref&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;<br /> <br /> ==<br /> 'c#chg;'j.j;'#vb;.n'hgn;.'hmhgj.';.vbfjllfgklnkmlb<br /> <br /> ==References==<br /> &lt;references/&gt;<br /> <br /> == External links ==<br /> *[http://www.oed.com - Oxford English Dictionary - see quotations for 'horse, n.'', 19.
