I have one question... if I am not mistaken, there is one idiom, saying something like "go swim with the fish", which suppose to mean "to die".. am i correct? can one help me with that? THANKS!
ok nice... i think we just killed everyone with everybody throwing in their own little expressions (starting with me, i threw in my opinions too). can we just jump out of the water a bit to dry up and catch a breath?!?!?
are you changing my name intentionally every time?..lol...it's not that i mind to be sum, sup, sut, sur, sud, suj, sul, sub, suv.. and so on.. just wondering!..lol..
It is a mafia/mob/ganster phrase, meaning we killed the person and dumped him into the river, and he is now "swimming with the fish". In New York, back in the day, they dumped the bodies in the East river because it flowed out to sea.
Residents of a village in China use fish therapy as a treatment for eczema and psoriasis.
I got this from a site>> “Visitors to the hot spring are placed in a gentle bath filled with many tiny fish. The small fish used in the treatment are then believed to eat the dry skin humans normally shed, thus enabling them to heal some skin diseases.”
“It’s not “Fish got your skin” but “Go swim with the fish”. “Go swim with the fish” means “Go kill yourself” or “Your going to die”. I don’t like this kind of therapy.” Says Aramax a commentor on this topic
when are you going? for how long? I can check if we can join, and let you know...but to be honest I don't think if someone is a big fan of fishing...lol...I am afraid, he might die of sitting motionlessly for more than 15 minutes..lol..
the boss's temperature? is that also all right? it is even more important than his room's temperature.. i hope he hasn't got HARARAH (a new word i have just learnt!)

"He sleeps with the fish"?
Whatever...I just liked the phrase a lot. Now go ahead and keep 'gangstering'

QA anyways i m going to inland sea "Khor Al Udeid" to fish....if you wanna swim ...come along...
Go swim with the fish, can have more than one meaning.
1- Go along with the crowd (majority)
2- I am (or who ever is intended) is out of your league, so dont bother!
3- Get lost, go die!
It all depends on the scentence and tone it was said in!
i both enriched my english and improved my arabic!
Bravo!...

is an old time gangster expression. I think they used it in "The Sopranos". You are right, it does mean to die.
