To lash out at the evidence of your deathly state. “Well, stone the crows!” Basically, “I am so dead and all that’s left to do is fight to keep the buzzards from eating my flesh”. To stone the crow is pointless, because a crow only attacks you if you are dead. (You can’t literally throw stones at it if you’re dead), but it’s like panicking about the future and directing your anger about your misfortune and imminent death out towards something as harmless as a bird just because it reminds you of your awful predicament. We should never stone the proverbial crow, even if we are practically dead already, died before or are dead inside. In other words “don’t trip on small things when you have bigger fish to fry”. Or “don’t curse your fate or it’ll curse you.”
