Void-Yawning

Void-yawning is a euphemistic idiom for death thought to have been popularized by workers aboard spaceships. It can take on a variety of forms, such as "They'll be yawning in the void before long" or "She yawned at the void last night," but the meaning is clear to anyone familiar with the figure of speech. Most of the time, it has the connotation of being informal and even disrespectful and making light of the deceased, as its original meaning is thought to refer to the agape, open-mouthed expression that corpses tend to have after being expelled from spaceships for removal.
