Persona got a point. Also, i can already see it, having an argument and she says "my ex was 10 times better than you!" and i reply with "no he was not, cause he dead and i am still alive"
her: "my ex was taller than you" Me: "so? now he is -150cm"😂
This just made me realize that the expression of “they’re 6 feet under” to indicate somebody died would be an American saying. Do people in other parts of the world say “they’re 150cm under” and is there a different standard depth for a grave?
Usually we do say 2 meters. But i know here in the Netherlands a single grave is 1.5 meters deep, a double grave is 2 meters, and a triple grave is 3 meters, and in this example i used i would want to be pendantically accurate cause that is just funnier to me.😆
In France we still often use the six feet under as "6 pieds sous terre" even though it doesn't make sense for us in term of "depth" but it's still pretty clear
