I just noticed that this sentence was changed from 彼は、くたばった to 彼はそれを蹴飛ばした three years ago. The problem is that in the original version the English it was paired with (He kicked it) meant "He died". Possibly Bunbuku was not aware of this slang usage. It had been indexed as an example a sentence using the verb くたばる, which obviously it no longer does.

Yes, I know that, and I have already reindexed this sentence, and switched another sentence using くたばる to be the front example. The reason for my comment was to highlight the problems caused by major edits to a sentence, especially when they completely change the meaning.

Yes, I didn't know "kick it" means "to die".
It seems a shorten version of "kick the bucket".

Slang is kind of hard to understand for language learners.
"kick it" also means "to relax", right?
Probably I didn't consider it could be slang, I just changed the meaning literaly.

Anyway, I'm sorry to cause you trouble.

@bunbuku
All fine now. In fact, changing to 蹴り飛ばす is not really a problem, as we don't have any sentences using that verb.

Isn't 蹴り飛ばす mainly used with martial arts? It might be better to have a new sentence with a more appropriate English version.

Thanks. I'll check them out later. :)

I'm not familiar with martial arts, but I believe it is used there.
