I had to look it up. For everyone else that needs to: "croak" is also a slang term for dying.

Wow I thought that was pretty universal slang! If you don't mind me asking, where are you from?
Germany, so 2nd language.
Ahh that'll do it!
What kind of fun slang for death do you have over there?
As I said, I'm German. We don't do funny slang. Death is not something to be joked about.
Seriously though, all I could think of were english expressiosn, being 6 feet under, sleeping with the daises, sleeping with the fishes ... all the funny expressions are in English.
I'm a terrible German.
Abnippeln, ins Gras beißen, die Löffel abgeben
Sich die Radieschen von unten anschauen, um die Ecke gehen
It croaks multiple times a day!
An apartment.
