kill me
Put me down
Kill me is a hyperbolic expression of frustration, embarrassment, or despair—a dramatic way of saying a situation is unbearable: I just sent that text to the wrong person. Kill me.
It can also express exasperated anticipation of something tedious: Another three-hour meeting? Kill me now.
The phrase is never literal; it's theatrical self-deprecation.
