Ops i think its ( Another one bites the dust ) ok can u explain why they say it
2007-01-18 00:44:42 · update #1
"Another one bites the dust" means someone (or something) else is defeated. The phrase was made famous in a song by the rock group Queen. In the gangster-oriented song, there was a not so subtle implication that "bite the dust" could mean "was killed".
Today the song (and phrase) is mostly heard at sporting events. At a baseball game it might be heard when a batter strikes out or a pitcher is taken out of the game. It could also be heard at the end of each game as a team makes its way through a playoff tournament.

When your fighting (before boxing rings) they used to just fight in the street (and if your in a western) it'd be dirt on the floor, or known as dust, and when some one would fall over, they possibly have their mouth open in pain i imagin, and it would look like they were eating 'biting' the dirt on the floor.. er-go, bites the dust...

dead, left behind, comes from the term eating dust as in racing cars and the tires spining dust behind it. ANOTHER ONE BITES THE DUST

Another one BITES the dust. In the Queen song it means another one is defeated, it can also mean another one dies.
