Euphemism: Fall Asleep. EXTRA CREDIT



Means: To Die (often seen on gravestones).






History: In the New Testament we see the phrase "fall alseep" used for death when referring to ones that believe in Jesus Christ. For them it was a traditional time where the saints waited in comfort until the last days, the resurrection of the death and final judgement.
