The idiom "dead as a dodo" is inspired by the dodo, a flightless bird that lived on the island of Mauritius but became extinct in the late 17th century due to human activities and the introduction of non-native species. The expression is used to signify something that is not just deceased but entirely and irrevocably extinct or obsolete, much like the dodo bird itself.
