Nail in the coffin - meaning

A Malaphor, or an idiom blend, combining "hit the nail on the head" (to do something exactly right) and "another nail in the coffin"(something that will harm or destroy someone – e.g., cigarette) to mean someone succeeded at doing something that may lead to their demise or the demise of another or just that they did a great job at something that they probably shouldn't have done at all.

Best used sarcastically.

"You did a great job of pissing off your ex. Really hit the nail on the coffin back there."
"What?"

Nail in the coffin

The death of the rapper, Benzino! Eminem fucking spit bar-after-bar right at his throat, each diss more savage than the last! The line where Benzino just died instantly was:

Slap my mom! Slap the fuck out of her
She can't sue you, she wouldn't get a buck out of ya
'Cause you're broke as fuck, you suck, you're a fuckin' joke
If you was really sellin' coke, well, then what the fuck
You stop for, dummy? If you slew some crack
You'd make a lot more money than you do from rap

It was too much for Benzino to handle! RIP Benzino!

Eminem put a nail in the coffin and ended Benzino!
