Pushing Up Daisies

The euphemism "Pushing Up Daisies" is another way to say someone's passed away. "He's pushing up daisies," is a way to avoid directly saying "He died." The reason people say this is pretty grotesque. Apparently, when you die and get buried, you're fertilizing the ground so small flowers and grass grow on your grave.
