Does this mean to cut the veins in your wrists and bleed to death?
grumbleradded a comment 5 years ago
Basically, yes. I think wrists are the most common place for this, but not the only one.

lines mean veins?
🇺🇸 Uly 🐝added a comment 5 years ago
Because we have two ways of saying this in different contexts: (1) [suicide] slit one’s wrist; (2) [boredom] (be about to/want to) open a vein.
🇺🇸 Uly 🐝added a comment 5 years ago
No, Masha, veins are usually not called lines.
