What is death on a stick?
There are two major definitions:
Originally, "death on a stick" referred to a type of spear used in old time wars.
Currently, "death on a Stick" is an idiomatic expression. Some material is so poisonous (in a metaphoric sense) that nobody will go near it. For example, a movie whose premise is to show the Nazi party's goals and aspirations in a positive light would be viewed as "death on a stick" because it is a guaranteed failure.
