Idiom trickery

[lettered]

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.

I think they both mean to die.

That's what my slang dictionary said. I thought so too but then I remembered how often people will say something that sucks bites the big ones. Thanks for your input!

And hi!
