…wait since when is jumping in a lake suicide? (I mean if its being used to mean that, yeah that’s pretty fucked up; but I interpretted to mean, erm, swimming)
Maybe. But I rather vividly remember that the kids who used “go jump in the lake” would attach vivid death fantasies to it, so…

I always kind of interpreted it as “get out of my sight,” but there is also “go jump off a cliff,” that makes sense. Yeah our culture is definitely more squeamish about both “bad” words (like fuck) and sex than it is about violence.
