End trails (for "entrails")

Your entrails are your internal organs, especially when they are no longer internal. The pronunciation of “entrails” could easily make you think it is two words and, well, your intestines form a trail once you’ve come to a sticky end. Some quite vivid examples show up in a search, as you might imagine.

Q: What does dibs on your end trails mean?
A: Saying dibs on your entrails means that the person is saying they are putting a claim on whats left of you when you die.

I think you’re going into a violently overcrowded space that will literally hang you by your end trails. What would I do if I were hell bent on doing this business?

I heard Kucher got so railed by the critics, that he’s laying low because it actually really hurt his feelings. he felt he gave it his best shot only to be strung-up by his end-trails just because of who he’s sleeping with! I could careless if he was having sex with a rottweiler in his spare time…

Thought I’d throw this one in:
Betray us and I will fong you until your insides are out your outsides are in and your entrails are your extrails.
