(UK, dialect) A bird, the marsh harrier.
(slang) Dead meat; a corpse.
American slang for a corpse, dead meat, or someone so close to death that the vultures might as well start circling. The phrase conjures up wide-open Western or Southern landscapes where buzzards wheel lazily in the sky above something — or someone — that's no longer walking around. Used humorously to describe a very old or exhausted person, or darkly to threaten someone. It's vivid, visceral, and undeniably evocative.
(UK, dated) marsh harrier.
