As far as I know it has enjoyed no use beyond this highly specific context. Whether we should have an entry on the idiom "life's a beach" I'm less certain about.

For example in [[at sixes and sevens]], [[sixes]] and [[sevens]] have no independent meaning in this idiom, you can't 'extract' them. Ergo cite properly or delete.
