Title:	Slang phrase for dead
Answer:	Pushing up daisies

Hints:	1. Type of Flower 2. Opposite of pull

Equivalents:	1. Feeding the worms 2. Dead as a doornail

Explanation:	He's pushing up daisies. This is a rather mean way to refer to the dead, so one would only use it in regard to a rather unsavory character, especially a celebrity.
