A stoic expression that’s gaining wide acceptance and justified popularity. It’s used to express disbelief or surprise for an event that may have happened or a situation that one may have described to you that is quite unbelievable.
In a positive way… I won a scholarship to Stanford University for literature…Response from a friend… “Cocks Alive!”
Disbelief…I was joking and I was recently fired from my job for asking the customer if he wanted coffee, tea or me… Response from a friend… “Cocks Alive!”
Or things aren’t just going your way… you’re sitting in traffic for a good hour. You look at the time realizing that you’re supposed to be home and you say yourself…”Cocks Alive!”
look alive alerts people around you to watch their back and be careful.

The anniversary of a day that you came close to death. Very popular with military veterans. It is usually not celebrated openly, but serves as a day of reflection.
“My alive day is August 21. Three years ago in Belfast I was shot by a sniper and survived.”

1. To be extremely angry with somebody. (Angry enough that you could actually literally do so to the person you're angry with)
2. To punish or threaten to punish somebody very severely
Originated from people literally having skin removed as a form of torture before execution.
' I'll skin alive the moron who broke my car window when I find them.'
GLaDOS is a fembot that hates you, and then emphasizes this in a very sarcastic song at the end of Portal.
This was a triumph.
I'm making a note here:
HUGE SUCCESS.
It's hard to overstate
my satisfaction.
Aperture Science
We do what we must
because we can.
For the good of all of us.
Except the ones who are dead.
But there's no sense crying
over every mistake.
You just keep on trying
till you run out of cake.
And the Science gets done.
And you make a neat gun.
For the people who are
still alive.
I'm not even angry.
I'm being so sincere right now.
Even though you broke my heart.
And killed me.
And tore me to pieces.
And threw every piece into a fire.
As they burned it hurt because
I was so happy for you!
Now these points of data
make a beautiful line.
And we're out of beta.
We're releasing on time.
So I'm GLaD. I got burned.
Think of all the things we learned
for the people who are
still alive.
Go ahead and leave me.
I think i prefer to stay inside.
maybe you'll find someone else
to help you.
maybe Black Mesa...
THAT WAS A JOKE, HA HA, FAT CHANCE.
Anyway this cake is great.
It's so delicious and moist
look at me still talking when theres science to do
when i look out there
it makes me glad I'm not you
i've experiments to run
there is research to be done
on the people who are
still alive.
and believe me I am still alive
I'm doing science and I'm still alive
i feel fantastic and I'm still alive
while your dying ill be still alive
and when your dead i will be still alive
still alive
still alive

Used as in the context of shock. Or awe. Usually when said it's exhaggerated. Also used to replace 'oh my god'.
1. Man alive!! (whilst perving at fit dancer in BCM)
2. Man alive that is beaut! (Whilst shopping and seeing a nice top)
3. Maaaaaan aliiiiive (As opposed to swearing whilst on a rollercoaster)

To be ok. To be on activity. Often used to emphasize the good health of a person, or the recovery after an accident or a trouble situation. Also used for a conversation with a long old friend.
And its an answer for greetings.

-Yeah i did but im still alive and kicking
