As an American I can tell you that it's better to just beat that dead dog. Well, horse really. Elephant. It's definitely an elephant. Now get out your flail and go to town at that bitch. And continue the beatings until the problem is resolved.

I don't speak the language, but my guess is that the Portuguese equivalent of "beating a dead horse" uses a dog instead?

in pt-br: chutando cachorro morto

literal translation: beating a dead dog

in pt-pt: bater no ceguinho

literal translation: beating the little blind person

Yup you guessed it right.
