Another One Bites The Dust
Someone knows exactly what ''bite the dust'' means?
I knew it means to die, but I also heard it means to fail, to crush; so are these interpretations both correct ?

'Bite the dust' doesn't only mean 'die'. It means come to an end. If something 'bites the dust' it means that's the end of it. Defeated. Finished. Gone. Forget about it.
