A piece of straw would not help to keep a drowning person afloat, but - if you are drowning - you would grab at anything, however hopeless, in your efforts to stay alive.
The expression means that when in trouble, a person will take any chances available to get out of trouble - even 'chances' with no hope of success.

Cowboys loved a colorful phrase! This literally meant to throw into the Pecos river. Cowboys used it to mean to kill by drowning.
I think it means I hear what you are saying and I agree with what you are saying
it would be the equivalent of they did it to themselves or did there self dirty. Another sense is to believe or buy into one's own lies or misconceptions. A group of persons, a nation, a religion or a culture, could 'drink their own bathwater'. 'Bathwater' is a euphemism for bodily waste so if drunk would be for it to return to it's source.
Quite obvious is one of this terms definitions: 'to move in a sinuous or gliding manner, like a snake' It may also mean 'to pull lengthwise', 'to drag with a rope', or 'to pull with short quick jerks'.
Suddenly
It means that when a person is drowning, in their desperation they will grab onto anything ,including a straw, hoping that it will help them from drowning. I think on a larger view this means basically "when life gives you lemons..." One grabs at the slightest chance when all hope is slipping away.
Figuratively means expressing something in a non-literal or metaphorical way, rather than in a strictly factual sense. For example, saying "I'm drowning in work" figuratively means that you have a lot of work to do but you are not actually drowning.
drowning?

He was saved by the monster.
The term "pull in the clutch" means squeeze the clutch lever to the handle bar to disengage the clutch. Hope this helps.
It means that there is a high possibility of offspring inheriting the specific trait. For example, a 'normal patterned' snake that is 'hetero for albino' - would likely produce a mixed clutch of babies. The clutch could have all 'normal', all albino or a varying mixture of colour patterns.
The same as it mean everywhere else - that depressing the clutch pedal pressurizes a hydrualic fluid, and that pressure is then used to operate the actual clutch mechanism in the transmission.
Do you mean AMY LEE? Haaha no of course she hasn't died from drowning , as a matter or fact , she hasn't died at all she's healthy as can be (: Bonnie Lee was the sister of Amy Lee, who died when Amy was 6. It's speculated that she drowned in the bath tub at age 3, but other's are saying it was due to an undiagnosed illness.
No it doesn't mean evil. The snake in China actually means rebirth because the snake sheds it's skin.
