Go over to the other side

As we learned in class earlier, euphemism are common phrases that are used in place of words and/or other phrases that may offend a person. It was hard to pick one euphemism from my list because most of them were about "dirty things." I chose the euphemism "go over to the other side." To "go over to the other side" means to be dying. It may also refer to the changing of a person's sexuality to a homosexual lifestyle. The origin of the said euphemism is unknown.
