A rogue with sharp teeth ... Shark
Non swimmers do this in deep water ... Flounder

Bonito. It means good and nice but I don't know about dead a long time. Sorry. xx

What about goby?

G (good) + ob ( latin abbreviation for died) + y (abbreviation for year)

Both abbreviations are listed in Chambers
