meet your maker
Shuffle off permanently
Meet your maker means to die.
The maker is God, the creator one faces after death.
The phrase is often used with dark humor or irony rather than religious solemnity: He nearly met his maker when the brakes failed.
It can also threaten death: Keep talking and you'll meet your maker.
