Burton, go for a
Burton, go for a meet with disaster, be ruined, destroyed, or killed. Origin uncertain; the expression originated in the mid 20th century airman's slang meaning ‘be killed in a crash’. Suggested references to Burton's, the British men's outfitters, or Burton, a kind of ale, are folk etymologies, with no definite evidence to support them.
