    Why do we say someone "passed away" instead of "died"? And why does it matter so much which words we choose?


    In this episode, host Aaron Crawford explores the folklore behind death euphemisms — the unwritten rules that tell us which phrases belong at a graveside and which ones belong at a bar. From "departed" to "kicked the bucket," the language we use around death isn't random. It's a socially transmitted code that varies by community, generation, and context, enforced not by law but by a well-timed silence or a sharp look across the room.
