A noted surfer once told me that “Wipe out” was from Shakespeare.

Act two, scene three, from The Merchant of Venice...Beach.

Don’t know about “wipe out,” but “bite the dust” is Shakespeare.

Wipe out?

I think this was the first documented wipe out:

2 Kings 21:13 And I will stretch over Jerusalem the line of Samaria, and the plummet of the house of Ahab: and I will wipe Jerusalem as a man wipeth a dish, wiping it, and turning it upside down.
