turn up one's toes
Kick the bucket
To turn up one's toes is to die—a humorous or euphemistic expression evoking the image of a corpse lying on its back with feet pointing upward.
The phrase is informal and often deliberately lighthearted: He'll leave everything to his nephew when he turns up his toes.
