Question

What does “another one bites the dust” mean?

Answer 1

Answer:

"Biting the dust" is what happens when you fall face first into the dirt. So when "another one bites the dust", it means someone has fallen out of the competition. If you listen to the Queen song, the lyrics are "Another one bites the dust. And another one's gone, and another one's gone. Another one bites the dust."
