A darkly humorous American slang phrase meaning to die — framing death as the ultimate, unavoidable final purchase, the one big transaction from which there's no return or refund. It belongs to a long tradition of death euphemisms that use commercial or transactional language to soften or joke about mortality. You're most likely to hear it in a wry, resigned context rather than as a serious expression of grief.
