The idiom "dead as mutton" is believed to have originated in the 19th century, and it is a reference to the fact that mutton, which is the meat of an older sheep, becomes tough and less flavorful after it has been slaughtered. This expression is used to imply that it is unquestionably lifeless or inanimate, with no chance of revival or recovery, just like the meat from a sheep that has been killed.
