The French idiom: Rfv-sense on "snuff it"... does that literally "to snuff" something out, or "to die"?... If the latter it should say so rather than use euphemisms for idioms. Goldenrowley 06:43, 25 August 2009 (UTC)
- It means "to die". It also means "to make a very important decision to change one's life". It may also mean both (to commit suicide). Try to google "faire le grand saut" + "mourir" to find examples. Lmaltier 16:39, 26 August 2009 (UTC)
- RFV sense failed (of "to snuff it"). Per your suggestion above I added it means to "to die"). Goldenrowley 04:26, 8 October 2009 (UTC)
Kept, since Goldenrowley seems to be satisfied with the rewritten definition. (He or she removed the tag.) Anyone wishing to re-RFV this, please feel free. —RuakhTALK 02:04, 9 March 2010 (UTC)
- It's in widespread use, I think Goldenrowley was just asking for cleanup. Mglovesfun (talk) 13:27, 11 March 2010 (UTC)
