When you're sad and when you're lonely
And you haven't got a friend
Just remember that death is not the end
And all that you held sacred
Falls down and does not mend
Just remember that death is not the end…

Today I discovered death euphemisms, and they restored my interest in the English language, which I thought was forever lost due to the hopeless faculty at my department.

Here are some juicy ones I found browsing through the dictionary:

Check out
bite the big one
kick the bucket
cash in your chips
be called to higher service
take a dirt nap
be six feet under
answer the last call
the eternal yawn
feed the fishes
in the sweet hereafter
marinating in soil and worms
on the road to nowhere
picking up your harp
pushing up daisies
sent to the dirt archives
slowly cooling to room temperature
worm food
promoted to Subterranean Truffle Inspector
join the majority - Oddly enough,
this isn't accurate anymore… there are more people living now than have ever lived.

Enjoy!!
