“celestial discharge” and

“code,” as in “If this call night gets any worse, I’m gonna code.”

One resident above me in my training once said, “If you don’t fix that potassium (level), he’s gonna

‘buy the eight ball’.”

Just my two cents!

Thanks for exploring “euphs.”

Allow me to add three:

1. gone to glory
2. gone to the happy hunting ground

And, here’s one I’ll further explain. Max, our six-year-old grandson, has lost two grandmothers within the past two years.

“Where did your granny go?” a visitor asked young Max one night as the two sat on the porch swing.

Max pointed to the western sky. “See her? She’s right over there. I talk to her all the time.”

“What do you mean, Max?”

“She’s a star,” the child replied, his wide brown eyes filled with unrelenting certainty.

Maybe some day, when his time comes, Max too will help light up the night skies.

I hope so.
