: Is this a common expression (dead metaphor?) or a phrase people understand but would only be seen in books maybe?

: Karen

: PS if this is not a widely spread phrase, can you suggest one with a similar meaning? Thanks

It's still used. You can count on at least part of your audience to understand it.
