I'm looking for colourful euphemisms or idioms for "die"
As in "kick the bucket", "push up the daisies"... etc
Edit: maybe this topic should move to "Wordplay and fun"?

Or maybe a phrase a bit more literate...
Across the River and into the Trees
From a brilliant book so entitled by Hemingway.
Who borrowed the words from the last words of Confederate General Stonewall Jackson.

for a carking riff, see MP's Dead Parrot Sketch: Mr. Praline: 'E's not pinin'! 'E's passed on! This parrot is no more! He has ceased to be! 'E's expired and gone to meet 'is maker! 'E's a stiff! Bereft of life, 'e rests in peace! If you hadn't nailed 'im to the perch 'e'd be pushing up the daisies! 'Is metabolic processes are now 'istory! 'E's off the twig! 'E's kicked the bucket, 'e's shuffled off this mortal coil, run down the curtain and joined the bleedin' choir invisibile!! THIS IS AN EX-PARROT!!
