As so often, Phrontistery seems to have the definitive list. But they don't have "cark it".

Great spot, I'll work my way through it.

Bilby, might you have read the doubt-sowing page before starting this? ;-)
How about plain old perish and fancy sow the Elysian fields?

sonofgroucho commented on the list exit-strategy
A list to die for! ;-)

bilby commented on the list exit-strategy
Actually saw the doubt-sowing page afterwards. Euphemisms have been on my mind a bit lately. 'Taboo' subjects like death, sex, etc tend to be awash with the blighters so I thought I'd give it a birl.

Really? What a coincidence. It must have spread to the rest of us. :-)

Never heard cheese it. Besides, I'm a vegan :-P

is there a list for synonyms of "murdered" (e.g. done in, bumped off, rubbed out)?
June 21, 2009
bilby commented on the list exit-strategy
I can't recall one. Do you have murderous intent?
June 21, 2009
madmouth commented on the list exit-strategy
grisly though it is; there was a missing category.

variant on "bite the dust" found in Gray's "The Fatal Sisters: An Ode"--
Low the dauntless earl is laid
Gor'd with many a gaping wound
Fate demands a nobler head
Soon a king shall bite the ground

Thanks Gray, 'mouth.

Lonorising commented on the list exit-strategy
Came across this post through Mental Floss' "9 colorful words and phrases from Breaking Bad's Final Season" and thought I might throw my two cents in.
"Pull the pin" and "drag up" are two euphemisms we use in construction for quitting a job and thus are often used as double-entendres for committing suicide.
