* This is (supposedly) the origin of the phrase "grasping at straws". It comes from the idea that a drowning person would (if they have no means of rescue and can't swim) try to pull themselves back to the surface by grabbing straws floating on it. A related trope is the old belief that [[HollywoodDrowning a drowning person]] would manage to resurface [[RuleOfThree three times]] before finally succumbing. Hence "going down for the third time" as a way of saying this was the end. Old BugsBunny cartoons would often have a hand coming up from the water displaying 1, 2, 3 on its fingers before going down for the last time.
