Mike:
Hey Jennifer, how’s it going?Jennifer: Oh Mike, pretty good–but I didn’t get any sleep last night… my neighbors were partying late AGAIN!
Mike: I see… Did you tell them to quiet down? Also, maybe you should tell them that if they do it again, you’ll call the police.
Jennifer: Actually, I did! But they don’t seem to take me seriously…
Mike: Well, I think you should tell them that you’re dead serious about calling the police next time.
Jennifer: Good advice, Mike. I really am dead serious about this. I need my sleep!
Example 2:
Tony: Lisa, I’ve been thinking maybe we shouldn’t live together anymore, but I would still like for us to date each other…
Lisa: What? Listen, Tony, if we stop living together–then we should just break up.
The idiom “dead serious” was taken from Unit 5 (“Hanging Out”) in LSI’s textbook Speaking Savvy for Level 5 Speaking/Listening classes.
