dead metaphor
     n : a metaphor that has occurred so often that it has become a
         new meaning of the expression (e.g., `he is a snake' may
         once have been a metaphor but after years of use it has
         died and become a new sense of the word `snake') [syn: {frozen
         metaphor}]
