Q—How did “kick the bucket” originate?
A—The origin “to die” is not known for certain. In one of its senses bucket means a beam or yoke, on which something is hung or carried. In parts of England, bucket is the common word applied to a beam. Pigs are hung from such a beam by their hind legs with t.ieir heads down and when they are killed, they kick the beam or bucket. Another theory says the phrase refers to the method of committing suicide bv standing on a pail or bucket, tying one end of a rflpe ground one's neck and the other to a beam, and the kicking over of their eket.
