    I had to look it up. For everyone else that needs to: “croak” is also a slang term for dying.

      Wow I thought that was pretty universal slang! If you don’t mind me asking, where are you from?

          Ahh that’ll do it!

          What kind of fun slang for death do you have over there?

            As I said, I’m German. We don’t do funny slang. Death is not something to be joked about.

            Seriously though, all I could think of were english expressiosn, being 6 feet under, sleeping with the daises, sleeping with the fishes … all the funny expressions are in English.

            I’m a terrible German.
