DO SOMETHING TO DEATH: meaning and examples
Good morning.
Today's expression is: To do something to death
It means: to do or perform something so often that people become tired of seeing or hearing it; they become bored. To overuse something.
As you can see, it is closely related to yesterday's expression ADJ TO DEATH.
Example 1:

Example 2:
