To remove wordiness and jargon from the sentence "Have you ever been accused of flagellating a deceased equine?", we can simplify it to "Have you ever been accused of beating a dead horse?"
The original sentence uses the term "flagellating a deceased equine", which is a verbose and technical way of saying "beating a dead horse". "Flagellating" means to whip or beat, and "deceased equine" refers to a dead horse.
The revised sentence takes out the unnecessary complexity and replaces it with a commonly understood phrase, making it more concise and easier to understand.
As for the meaning of "beating a dead horse", it is an idiomatic expression that refers to wasting time or effort on a pointless or unproductive endeavor. It implies continuing to talk about or pursue something that is already over, resolved, or no longer relevant.
