drop dead

Keel over instantly

Drop dead is a rude command telling someone to go away or shut up—essentially wishing them dead: Oh, drop dead, I don't care what you think.

As an adjective, drop-dead intensifies attractiveness or impressiveness: drop-dead gorgeous, a drop-dead deadline.

To drop dead literally is to die suddenly, often from a heart attack.
