I thin it's a real idiom. Maybe from the 1920s-ish? See 'cut me dead'.

http://idioms.thefreedictionary.com/cut+dead

I don't feel happy sticking an 'archaic' on this, so I'll make it 'old-fashioned'. One day I should go through the archaic tags and subdivide them.

I'll add the 'dead' here (as I think that's the more common version by a fair way).

In my opinion, this isn't an archaic or old-fashioned idiom. I still hear it. It means to ignore someone:
