If you change the wording of an idiom, it's no longer the same phrase, so it doesn't mean what the idiom means. You can say "kick the bucket" to mean someone died, but if you say "kick the pail," it just means you kicked a pail with your foot. Idioms are phrases that are a little like short-hand speech, where one specific image has come to stand for something in the language - if you change the words, you change the meaning.
