Lie in repose
If people really do say this, they're guilty of tautology. Deb 30 June 2005 20:47 (UTC)  (Ah...I should have known it was an American expression.  As opposed to "standing in repose" no doubt. Deb 1 July 2005 11:54 (UTC))
 * Delete. Never heard it. Never said it either, and I'm about as pompous as they come... So it might be a term. Still a dicdef.  smoddy 30 June 2005 20:53 (UTC)

 * Keep- I've expanded the article. I knew I had heard the term in classical literature, and couldn't for the life of me figure out where I had heard it recently . . . until Google reminded me of the Death and state funeral of Ronald Reagan. --Scimitar 30 June 2005 22:24 (UTC)
