I wish I was dead 

Darling, no! Oh god, no no no. Please don't.. I understand your feelings and desire for it but- but this isn't how you end it. You have so much potential. You- You are just.. lucky in your own way, maybe. I don't know you or what kind of life you've had but trust me, I had the same life too. Whether it's because of family issues, personal stuff, work problems, bullying, disability, harassments, whatever it is.. Don't. Even I have problems and I came here to define this term/help you all out. Please don't. You can do this. Even though we may have never met or will never do it. Just remember..

There is a person whose dream life is yours.

There is a person who thinks about you, indirectly.

There is a person who cares.

There is a person who smiles everyday because of you.

There is a person who healed because of you.

I wish to be the same person.

Keep smiling. Keep laughing. And never ever lose your bright joy in the dark tunnel of life and trauma.

Actual Definition: A phrase either told as a joke by people when something bad happens or when they are in a situation or a phrase told by depressed and broken people who cannot take life's burden anymore and just wishes for the end of their existence to wipe away the pain and trauma.

British slang for a scientist or technical expert, esp . when the speaker is not certain of the expert’s specific field of study. Not necessarily derogatory, but typically used by persons without a technical background. In the US, the equivalent would be “egghead”, “squint”, or “geek.”

Origin of the word is unknown. Started sometime in World War 2. Given the typical evolution of British slang, could easily have started because what these experts did was confusing or “baffling” to the common person.
According to the boffins downstairs, the murderer used a serrated blade.
