I can't say "rest in peace" because he's still alive in my mind... He's a legend... and..... LEGENDS NEVER DIE!!!!! Since this is the Death List site, I would like to see a ban on all the twee euphemisms like "passed". Dead, died, death. We are grown ups and shouldn't be afraid of these words. I don't mind the more jocular ones once in a while, eg fell off the perch, kicked the bucket etc. The ones that you don't imagine being said in a hushed tone. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ban those words too and we have to coin new terms, or else rename this site to something like DeceasedList, DemiseList, or KillList. Also, what about DeathHoaxList?

Lafaucheuse 4,043 Posted February 25, 2020 À lot of death this Time, among centenarians and well known figures as Mubarak. I think that 2020 can be a refreshing year (i Mean well known dl picks like Nobby Stiles or JPDC can pass away suddenly) and leave us with only a few lingerers and a lot of new interesting faces. We’ll see Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Red Death 87 Posted February 25, 2020 Well, fine, that's it. I still consider him as not dead, because he's now more alive than ever. He'll never rest in peace even after now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
