Well no, just because one horse wasn't beaten does mean that other dead horses won't be beaten.

What does the word euthanized have to do with beating a dead horse?
Generally when someone uses the term 'beating a dead horse' it is in the same catagory as 'you cannot teach an old dog new tricks'. In other words just a saying.
When someone is beating a dead horse it is useless and you are basically just beating your head against the wall. It may be a problem you are trying to solve or some other event in your life.
No, I do not think the saying will just go away.

um, no. That phrase has been around a long time and has survived the death of millions of horses, including Barbaro.

No, because the phrase has nothing at all to do with the tragedy of Barbaro.

Ah, no. Many horses have died before Barbaro, so...ah...no. But maybe people should stop saying "choking the chicken" when they drive pass a KFC.
Yes.
Okay. Maybe.

No, because it actually underscores the saying. You get nothing by beating a dead horse.

Yes, I lost a lot of money on that race and I feel so sorry for the poor guy.
