I think "drop dead" never should be used.
The term "no new inning" is much better than "finish the inning"; because some people are misled by "finish". "No new inning" applies the rule which always exists, home team ahead in the bottom of an inning, game over instantly.
The effect is essentially the same as "drop dead" for that circumstance, but only for home team ahead in the bottom of an inning.
