Dead giveaway sounds like a very dark expression. I mean, are we giving away death?
AM: Andrew, do you know Bob in accounting?
AS: Is he the guy who’s always wearing shorts and sneakers?
AM: That’s him. But today he’s wearing a suit!
AS: Oh, a suit! Well, that’s a dead giveaway. He has an interview.
AM: For another job, yep.
Dead giveaway is something that clearly shows the truth
about something. With this expression, it is important to note
that “dead” means totally and completely. And that’s English in a Minute!
