- expiry70%
The standard British, Australian, and New Zealand English word for the end, termination, or lapse of something — a contract, a deadline, a passport, a warranty. Where American English almost always says 'expiration,' Commonwealth English strongly prefers 'expiry.' It also functions as a formal or literary euphemism for death, as in 'following his expiry.' You'll see it constantly on food packaging, medication labels, and legal documents across the UK and its former territories.
