Best Euphemism for death and dying....

How 'bout globally (and permanently) banned.

I believe that is an dysphemism...

Carked.

Yes... He's lying up there in sick bay now, stiff as a board and bright green, and this is, I fear, typical of his current attitude. You see, the boy has no sense of moderation: one moment he's flying around like a paper kite, and the next moment he's completely immovable. And beginning to smell.

The whole script

Its only molting.

Well, back in the eighties we had a client who in the course of some long conversation with all of us told about the day that one of his business associates died at his desk. The phone kept ringing, and he kept saying, he's not here right now - will you leave a message. (This might have been before the prevalence of answer machines, I can't remember, or maybe he resorted to one of those later.)

He needed to call a md and the family before just announcing, uh, he's dead . . .
Anyway, it wasn't a recent event and we all laughed our brains out.

Thanks for resuscitating this thread. Is this saying from a UK country?

Why does this sound so obscene?

if you think otherwise
account for the must

i remember the first time i heard the phrase "he carked it in the karsey", i knew that karsey was a bathroom, but for a while the mind boggled as to the meaning of carked

Karsey is toilet, throne, pedestal, not no mealy mouthed bathroom.

Laffter erupted among the secretaries n clerks in my law firm,
when I spoke of a plaintiff having checked out.

I was a little surprized.

You have my permission to laugh when I die. It will be a nice accompanyment.
