death to

Eliminate this thing

Death to is a phrase expressing a wish for the destruction or elimination of something, ranging from literal calls for violence to casual hyperbole.

In political contexts, Death to the tyrant! may be a genuine threat or revolutionary slogan.

More often in everyday speech, it's playful exaggeration: Death to Mondays, Death to reply-all emails.

The phrase signals strong opposition without serious intent to harm.
