List of English-language euphemisms for death

This is a list of notable euphemisms for death and dying in the English language.
A euphemism is a common word or phrase intended to soften the harshness of a literal meaning. For example, an American-English speaker would understand the phrase ''"kick the bucket"'' to mean ''"to die,"'' as well as to actually kick a bucket. Furthermore, they would understand when each meaning is being used in context. A euphemism is not to be confused with other figures of speech such as a metaphor, which invokes an image by use of implicit comparisons (''e.g.'', ''"the man of steel"'' ); a simile, which invokes an image by use of explicit comparisons (''e.g.'', ''"faster than a speeding bullet"''); and hyperbole, which exaggerates an image beyond truthfulness (''e.g.'', like ''"missed by a mile"'' ). Euphemisms are also not to be confused with proverbs, which are simple sayings that express a truth based on common sense or practical experience.
