"KIcklnu the Bucket"

When we speak facetiously Of some
one for whom we have no reverence
as having Kicked the bucket" we
employ a phrase that would seem to
be a piece Of latter-day slang, but as
a matter Of fact, 1t dates back to old
England, when, about the year 1925,
one Bolsover hung himself to a beam
while standing on the bottom Of q
bucket, and then kicked the bucket
away. Although at first used only in
cases Of suicide, 1t has been applied
in the course Of years to any death,
without distinction.
