PrideOfLion posted... I'm not a fan of "passed away" but I hate it when people just say "passed"
It always takes me a moment for it to click that they mean dead, since I wasn't born in the US and I didn't hear that growing up
It took me an embarrassingly long time to realize what The Late [insert name] meant.
always wondered, what were they late for? Were they overdue when they were born?
