So we all know the phrases "kick the bucket" and "bought the farm" mean someone passed on, but I always wondered, how they came to be. Like, how someone would just 'kick a bucket' then be dead, or somethin'.

| Kicking the bucket comes from an old dutch tradition, at the funeral ppl paying respects to the family would kick a tin bucket to pay homage to the deceased. I think it was done to scare away evil spirits. |

Are items extracted from your nose of great value to the world? |
