    #14 is wrong, stealing someone's thunder is NOT taking credit for their work... it's about ruining their big moment or reveal by horning in with your stuff: Like officially announcing your engagement at someone else's wedding during the toasts. The example on the "answer line" is a correct use, but the listed answer isn't.

    There are a couple, I think, that you could make a case for one or more of the other answers being equally valid.

    Kick the bucket -> Pass away ? So we're using an idiom to define an idiom because it is forbidden/unhealthy/triggering to say the word "dïëd"? 🤷🏻‍♀️
