"Flog something to death" = quất (cái gì) đến chết -> nghĩa là bàn tán, lải nhải mãi về một vấn đề khiến ai đó phát chán, không còn hứng thú nữa.

Ví dụ
They know one thing, which they flog to death. “Donald Trump is the brassiest thought leader in existence,” says Drezner. His book makes a plea for the return of the public intellectual (trí tuệ). But he concedes (thừa nhận) it is a tall order.

I wanted to get out of this last 10 years of what we were doing. It was so routine (theo lịch trình). It was like, go to the studio, do an album, go out on the road, go round the world and flog it to death, and by the time you came back it was time to do another album.

“The question is how do you make another Angry Birds?” said Richard Holway, chairman of TechMarketView. “You’ve really got to be extremely careful in the way you do it because you can flog it to death and people will get fed up (chán nản).”
