Not my cup of tea?

I heard someone on TV say 'dead wrong.'Can someone explain what this means? Does 'dead' here mean 'very'? Thanks

Hi dear!

Yeah i'm dead sure that you are right. Dead means very (pretty) eg, I'm dead,pretty, very sure that i 'll be a scientist.I use this word some times.

Absolutely wrong

I think, “dead wrong" means " absolutely wrong" or "completely wrong". It sounds stronger than "very".

hi sam

im not sure, but i think that (every witch has her own crystal ball) means that every issu has a key, every problem has a solution and every one has his own scheme to acheive his aims

new expression for me

Well, in my opinion that phrase means something untrue. How is it? I'm still learning English. Idioms make English fun but drive me crazy too.

hello

I think it means, that everybody has her /his own speciality (it can be an attribute, or an instrument or something like this).

I strongly agree with

I strongly agree with you Zishuli!Dead wrong means absolutely wrong!
And everyone here is confused about the idiom you've written here.I think it means that every person has his/her own views! Am I right?
