Go West!

Go west
19c. British idiom for "die, be killed" (popularized during World War I), "probably from thieves' slang, wherein to go west meant to go to Tyburn, hence to be hanged, though the phrase has indubitably been influenced by the setting of the sun in the west." [Partridge]

Go West is a farcical set of sketches both originally scripted and adapted from BBC's Goodness Gracious Me. It is a mockery of the pretentious, defensive, yearning, courageous, and confused sides of the immigrant Indian experience.
