Idioms meaning - to die

"To kick the bucket" is an English idiom, and one of the Serbian ones is "to drop the spoon". Another Serbian idiom which means "to die" is "to fart into the tub".

English expressions:
To bite the dust.
To pop one's clogs.
To by the farm. (Hm, it sounds as it came from a New Age guru, it is easy to imagine tunnel and White Light...)
To peg out - very similar to Serbian expression.
To snuff it.

Now I am looking for Scandinavian expressions.

'Trilla av pinnen' or 'trilla av pinn', vandervelde, have you heard that expression in Swedish?

Also, 'ta ner skylten' and 'kila om hörnet'

'To buy the farm ' is American.
During WW2 a lot of American pilots crashed into farms.The American government paid the farmer compensation, so the pilot literally bought the farm.ie allowed the farmer to pay off his loan on the farm.

Wiki reckons exprssion wasn't used until 50's.
Probably more to do with US pilots crash landing on US farms.

Buy the tank top.
