I guess by juice it means the chemicals inside a battery.

Truths are hard to prove, rumors are easy to make.

Hi GG,

As always, I am so glad to hear your comments! Now I know it is just my pickiness in avoiding the use of "dead" in normal cases.

Well then, it must be my fault. I would be more careful the next time.

I'm wondering if "cashed" is short for "cashed in his chips," which can mean "died." (It can also literally mean a gambler quit playing, exchanged his chips for cash, and went home.)

My neighbor, who works with cars, used "juice" in a recent conversation about a battery charger. Something like, "It may not be getting enough juice." "Juice" is also used in references to execution in the electric chair.

The Urban Dictionary link by JC suggested connections with marijuana but yours is also a very reasonable guess. After I read JC's reply, I was trying to find connections between "batteries" and "cashed". I have in fact found the phrase "the battery cashed in its chips" in a couple of webpages and that "in its chip" kept me wondering. Now, the mystery is solved!

Thanks, Osee. That's also the question in my mind. I just found from the dictionaries that juice can be used to mean anything from electrical power, petrol, personal influence, creative energy, strength, essence, etc., etc. This is quite surprising to me.
