It appears the repugnant Zoomer expression "dead ass" dates back to The Golden Girls

I'm watching the beloved S6 episode 'Henny Penny, Straight No Chaser' right now and Dorothy is questioning Sophia's sudden interest in chess out on the lanai. Sophia explains that it's the perfect game for Sicilians, a country that's "very warlike and dead ass broke".

So, once again...the circle remains unbroken.

Obligatory:

This thread and others make me think that Datalounge is basically a secret underground civilization of people who have never seen the actual world above. The only clues they have to it are some ancient videotapes of the complete series of "I Love Lucy" and "The Golden Girls," and they watch these over and over again, obsessing about them, going over every last detail, and wondering just how life in the sunlit world above can possibly correspond to the details of what they're seeing on the holy videotapes.

Another piece of the puzzle.

The circle is now complete.

Literally howling with laughter at R1's comment. Apple Snapple up the nose.

All of the best of our culture either originated with TGG or was cited by TGG

I’ve heard “dead-assed” used all my life OP.

Please figure out who started “It is what it is” so I can beat them up.

OP, seriously? The expression "dead ass" isn't something exclusive to GG.

r4 that comment was originally posted years ago on an I Love Lucy thread.

It's one of my all-time favorite DL responses. Never gets old.

R7 I actually thought it was a gen-z expression because I don't remember hearing it before the last few years (I'm gen-x).
