coup de grã¢ce stroke of mercy Explanation: You're right, Petrolhead, the authors are full of beans. coup de grâce (kooh duh GRAHS) The final blow: “He had been getting deeper and deeper in debt; the fates delivered the coup de grâce when he died.” The phrase is French for “stroke of mercy.” It originally referred to the merciful stroke that put a fatally wounded person out of his misery or to the shot delivered to the head of a prisoner after he had faced a firing squad. http://www.bartleby.com/59/4/coupdegrace.html |
