Death's new name? Bill Door. In Eric, Eric and Rincewind decide that the bill is "what you get when there's nothing left and everything's been used up." What do you get when there's nothing left and everything's been used up? Death.
I should say that Bill DOOR is a rather obvious reference to Bill GATEs, but it might only be me...
- Bill Gates, whose company's operating systems have been killing processes (and productivity) for decades?
- Maybe a bit obscure, but "In a world without walls and fences, who needs Windows and Gates?" used to be a popular signature in some circles. And Death had just been made redundant...
Or perhaps "Bill Door" makes a pun on "Builder," which is the opposite of Death's usual job.
A door is a transition. Death is also a transition.
- There's a philosophical statement: "Death is only a door."
