Kick The Bucket
In the English expression to kick the bucket, a listener knowing only the meanings of kick and bucket would be unable to deduce the expression's true meaning: to die. Although this idiomatic phrase can, in fact, actually refer to kicking a bucket, native speakers of English rarely use it so. Cases like this are "opaque idioms'

Re: Kick The Bucket
"Kick the bucket" is really a new word I have ever seen. But I don't understand the meaning of the word.Is it true that meaning of the word is he died. I am not sure.
