because dying is funny?

To refer to death as someone having "kicked the bucket" amuses me way more than it should.

I've always wondered where that expression comes from. And yeah, as death euphemisms go, that's definitely the most humorous. "Tripped on a rainbow" follows as a close second. :p

I've never heard "tripped on a rainbow"! That's awesome. :D

I always thought that maybe kicking the bucket had to do with someone hanging themselves by standing on a bucket and then tipping it out from under themselves with their feet, but I actually don't have a clue.

I generally refer to the pending death of my grandma as her kicking the bucket, because the humor of it takes the edge off the grim reality :)
