    The weird thing to me is why people don't just use existing euphemisms like "punched their own ticket" or "catch the bus" for suicide, or even just a different phrase that doesn't even count as a euphemism like "took their own life". Mangling words like this just feels unnatural.

        They can google "euphemisms for suicide" and their audience can google "what does x phrase mean"

      Because unalive is one word rather than a full phrase that would take the whole of the screen for your tiktok.

        Then use a synonym. Depending on the context, slay, destroy, exterminate, extirpate, snuff, etc. etc.
