January is List making Month

Where does the term "kick the bucket" originate?

To kick the bucket is an English idiom that is defined as "to die" in the Dictionary of the Vulgar Tongue (1785). It is considered a euphemistic, informal, or slang term.Oxford Advanced Dictionary of Current English, 4th Ed. (1989) Its origin remains unclear, though there have been several theories.
