The full phrase is 'The Quick and the Dead', (also a movie starring Gene Hackman, Sharon Stone, Russell Crowe and Leonardo DeCaprio) and we are not the Dead.BCLG100 said:How come were called 'the quick' out of interest?
Hope this helps.The earliest meaning of the word quick in English is alive. When a baby was first felt to move in its mothers womb it was considered to have come to life, and this moment was called quickening. This original meaning of the word quick has now died out except in the phrase the quick and the dead, kept alive by the King James translation of Acts 10:42, which speaks of Jesus as judge of quick and dead, but even more by the continued recitation of the Apostles Creed, which says of Jesus that he shall come to judge the quick and the dead.
People who use this phrase to imply that speed is involvedliveliness rather than alivenesssometimes get credit for creating a clever pun but more often come off as ignorant.
