I don't know the expression "kicked the bucket"..is it disrespectful? Does it mean died? Sorry for my ignorance :oops:
Quote from: "trublu"I don't know the expression "kicked the bucket"..is it disrespectful? Does it mean died? Sorry for my ignorance :oops:it's a colloquial way to say that someone died. not disrespectful, really, but just a term in spoken language. pretty unusual for journalists to write it like that, but this is tmz... :mrgreen:
Yes Trublu, it is slang meaning someone has died. It's more insensitive than disrespectful, I think. Although, in the context of Michael, I'm a little offended that they use that phrase. That's just me.
The 17,171 square foot home on Carolwood Drive -- which includes 7 bedrooms, a 7-car garage, and 13 toilets -- was officially put up for sale on Monday
TS BIAS...
BTW, that house is ridiculously gorgeous.
edit: just noticed the entry line: '...where michael jackson overdosed on propofol and died...'. when you klick the 'kicked the bucket line', it leads you to the original article from june 25, 2009 (2:20 pdt!) saying that he suffered cardiac arrest and died in the hospital. now they officially have two versions themselves, it seems...i don't remember them using that expression 'overdosed on propofol' before...also, it usually sounds like self-inflicted when you write 'died from an overdose'. is it like tmz playing around with the different versions of 'how mike died' now? :mrgreen:
