What is bought the farm meaning?

The phrase "bought the farm" is a slang term that is commonly used to refer to someone's death. It is believed to have originated during World War II, where it referred to a pilot crashing his plane into a farm. The insurance payout for the plane would then be used to "buy the farm" for the family who owned it.

Over time, the phrase has taken on a broader meaning and can now refer to any situation in which someone dies unexpectedly, often as a result of an accident or illness. It is used somewhat humorously to convey the finality and inevitability of death.
