"Hang/hold on/cling on like grim death" = Bám dứt khoát không lay chuyển -> bám không rời, bám chặt.
Ví dụ
Small business owners sometimes “hang on like grim death [to their original software] as long as they possibly can,” said Birch, observing that “some people run pretty big companies ... on [MYOB] AccountRight or Essentials.”
Then, in 1932, a little-noticed Depression-era austerity (sự khổ hạnh, khắc khổ) act cut Supreme Court justices’ retirement salary in half, almost as an afterthought to broader cuts. At the time, President Herbert Hoover’s attorney general warned that the law meant justices “will hang on like grim death until the Angel Gabriel blows the horn.”
Stadlen also performs the Act Two opener, "Penny in My Pocket," that was cut from the original Broadway production. Although Stadlen could have more fun with it, the song is a cute little star turn staged in front of a closed curtain. It plays no role in the storytelling other than giving us a glimpse (ý niệm lờ mờ, cái nhìn thoáng qua) of blowhard (anh chàng huênh hoang khoác lác) Horace's philosophy (triết lý) of capitalism: Hang on like grim death to every coin that comes your way.
