I feel like this was a common schoolyard taunt or threat from the badguys in cartoons back in the day, but I haven't heard it in years. When did it go away?

Idk but my elementary-aged nephews have started saying "holy smokes!" all the time and it is hysterical.

My guess is tv and movies overused it to the point where it lost its value. It turned into a stock phrase and people just stopped using it.

I don't remember 'dead meat', but certainly 'you're dead!' if you got beat in dodgeball or 4-square.
