3 a nail in it's coffin
(a nail in it's (one's или smb.'s) coffin (тж. a nail in the coffin of smb. или smth.))что-л. ускоряющее смерть кого-л., гибель кого-л. (или чего-л.); ≈ смерти подобно; см. тж. drive a nail in smb.'s coffinI dislike publicity, Marjorie. Look at that suit the other day. Anything of this nature in Society, nowadays, is a nail in our coffins. (J. Galsworthy, ‘The Silver Spoon’, part III, ch. IV) — Я не хочу огласки, Марджори. Каждый великосветский скандал забивает новый гвоздь в крышку нашего гроба.
Golightly: "...Whenever he wants to go away, Ada Fergusson will implore him to stay five minutes longer. Those five minutes that a man stays against his will are the nails in love's coffin." (W. S. Maugham, ‘Penelope’, act I) — Голайтли: "...Когда он собирается уходить, Ада Фергуссон умоляет его подождать еще пять минут. Но эти пять минут, которые мужчина дарит женщине против своей воли, убивают любовь."
We can get him sooner or later and this flight is the last nail in his coffin. (E. S. Gardner, ‘The Case of the Cautious Coguette’, ch. 29) — Рано или поздно мы поймаем преступника. Своим побегом он окончательно погубил себя.

4 drive a nail in smb.'s coffin
(drive (hammer, knock или put) a nail in (или into) smb.'s coffin (или in или into the coffin of smb. или smth.))"вбить гвоздь в чей-л. гроб", свести кого-л. в могилу; ускорить гибель кого-л. (или чего-л.); см. тж. a nail in it's coffinHis languid scepticism suggested deep reserves of knowledge; and with his half-shrug, his supercilious smile, his metaphysical expositions, he attempted frequently to put nails in the coffin of my belief. (A. J. Cronin, ‘Shannon's Way’, book I, ch. 4) — Казалось, за его холодным скептицизмом таятся глубокие знания: легким пожатием плеч, высокомерной улыбкой или своими высказываниями на метафизические темы ему не раз удавалось вбить еще один гвоздь в гроб моей угасавшей веры.
What you have told me, once it is made public, will help to put a nail in their coffin. People already suspect them. (DEI) — Когда то, что вы рассказали мне, станет достоянием гласности, им придет конец. Этих людей уже начали подозревать.
