I’m joking. Partly
Actually the Growing euphemisms drive me nuts. Someone couldn’t bear to say “die” so invented “pass away”. Then even that became too much to bear so they abbreviate good English and say “pass”. Can’t even deal with “away”.
It’s all in the same family as Negro-colored-black-AA and crippled-handicapped-disabled. It’s foolishness and is going to be declared “offensive” some day anyway.
Off my soap box
Rummy was a good man.
Passed on to heaven.
Passed from this life to the next.
Died. Only physically.
They’ve declared bathrooms for men and women foolishness. They’ve declared the American Flag offensive.
I don’t really care what “they” think.
