Kill, sleep with or marry
Hi,
Some male students, many with finance backgrounds, commandeered classroom discussions and hazed female students and younger faculty members, and openly ruminated on whom they would “kill, sleep with or marry” (in cruder terms). Alcohol-soaked social events could be worse.
What does this phrase in bold mean? I can't find the definition in any of the dictionaries I found online. I'd appreciated it if someone could help me.

Thanks for the reply. But it doesn't seem that the word 'kill' is used in its literal sense. Take a look at the following question, which I found in yahoo answers.
Q: Given the following options, who would you kill, marry, or sleep with?
Sarah Palin
Michelle Obama
Lady gaga
One of the answers to that question was
kill: Michelle Obama
mar

jooneyWhat does 'kill' mean here? What exactly does this question mean?It means put to death, but it's an exaggeration. The murder stands for utter rejection.
