What does the term 'the rabbit died' mean?
It means, after a pregnancy test, the women is found to be pregnant. Around 1927 it was discovered that if you injected the urine of a pregnant woman into a rabbit, there would be corpora hemorrhagica in the ovaries of the rabbit. These bulging masses on the ovaries could not be seen with out killing the rabbit to inspect the ovaries, so invariably, every rabbit died, even if the woman wasn't pregnant. The phrase, "The rabbit died," came to be a euphemism for a positive pregnancy test after the late 1920 and early 1930s. Source: About.comIt is slang for saying someone is pregnant - the original test involved injecting an actual female rabbit with the urine of the woman who suspected she was pregnant. If the woman actually was pregnant, the rabbit would react to the pregnancy hormones - this did not kill the rabbit, but when scientists first invented this test, the only way to examine the rabbit's ovaries was to kill and dissect it. People misunderstood this whole process and thought that the rabbit died because of the pregnancy hormones. Nowadays, of course, you just buy a pregnancy test at your local drugstore.

What was the rabbit test?
The rabbit test was a pregnancy test that was developed by two German scientists in 1927. If a woman was thought to be pregnant, her urine was injected into a rabbit. If the pregnancy hormone (hcG) was present, then the rabbit developed certain ovary changes. It is a common misconception that if the rabbit died, the woman was pregnant, and if the rabbit lived, she was not. However, the rabbit died either way because the rabbit had to be killed so its ovaries could be surgically removed and examined. The test was very popular in the 1930's - 1950's. The rabbit test stopped being commonly used in the 1960's when modern pregnancy tests were developed. Rabbit Test was also a 1978 movie starring Billy Crystal.
