Idiom trickery

Can you tell me what you mean when you say "bite the big one"?
And is it different from "bought the big one"?

Does either one mean to die? 'Cause. I need to make a fish joke.

It's funny you don't really use bite the big one. Um, except like that. I think it's generally idiomatic for "that sucked".

I'm going to try to dl bones! I can't believe I forgot. I was thinking about it all day. Then I had to be stupid and go out to dinner! oy!
