Favorite hobbit euphemism for death.

Poll question: Favorite hobbit euphemism for death.

When a hobbit dies they use their own lingo to describe it. The shoeless creatures don't "pop clogs" or kick the bucket. There's no dust to bite in the verdant Shire. What is your favorite one?

1. Death or something two consenting adults do, what's the difference?

19. "Slipped on the other ring" doesn't mean dead, it means "purple headed"

I am wrong for even thinking that way

20. Stayed too long at Tom Bombadil's?

Actually, I think any amount of time spent with Tom Bombadil-Bombadilo qualifies as death.

21. But, but, Tom Bombadil is a merry fellow.

His jacket is blue and his boots are yellow.
