<p>死 + fight action = fight until one of the party dies (metaphorically or literally).</p>

<p>Depending on the context, it could be implying "no retreat" or "no mercy" or both, but in most cases it's focusing on the determination i.e. "no retreat" aspect.</p>

<li>死锤 (network language): "hammer" (harshly argue, criticize, condemn) someone until they surrender/confess.</li>

<p>I suppose 死锤 evolved from 实锤，which to describe someone or something got a evidence to proof truth or false.</p>

<p>So , 死锤 isn’t meaning death hammer,but just like struggle to argue or fight for the results .</p>

死 + fight action = fight until one of the party dies (metaphorically or literally).

Depending on the context, it could be implying "no retreat" or "no mercy" or both, but in most cases it's focusing on the determination i.e. "no retreat" aspect.

Examples:

* 死战 (as in 决一死战): fight until death; fight without retreat.
* 死磕 (common word Northern/Beijing dialect): bug/harass/fight someone until the request is answered.
* 死锤 (network language): "hammer" (harshly argue, criticize, condemn) someone until they surrender/confess.
