    Electrocute means to be killed by electric shock. Unless you’re being reincarnated again and again I think you mean to say that you’ve managed to shock yourself regularly.

      Electrocute means neon green and attractive. I will not be taking questions.

      Collins and m-w both have “kill or [severely] injure”, whereas Cambridge has only “kill”. So I guess it can be used their way sometimes some places?

      He was just being cute with the phrase.
