This document discusses the use of euphemisms as mild or indirect words used in place of terms considered too harsh or blunt when referring to unpleasant or embarrassing topics. Some examples provided are using "I'm going to have to let you go" instead of "you're fired", "love handles" instead of "fat", "dog nuisance" instead of "dog poop", and "passed away" instead of "it died". Further euphemisms mentioned are "correctional facility" instead of "jail", "big-boned" instead of "heavy", "domestic worker" instead of "maid", and "sanitation engineer" instead of "garbage man".
Euphemism is a generally innocuous word or expression used in place of one that may be found offensive or suggest something unpleasant. Euphemisms are used to soften or hide unpleasant topics like disability, sex, excretion, and death. They evolve over time through processes like circumlocution, taboo deformation, and semantic change. There are several types of euphemisms including abstraction, indirection, litotes, mispronunciation, modification, personification, and slang. Euphemisms differ from idioms in that euphemisms substitute agreeable expressions to avoid offense, while idioms have figurative meanings separate from their literal definitions.

The document discusses euphemisms, which are terms that replace taboo words.

[2] However, euphemisms can also cause problems by glossing over meanings, creating inefficiencies with multiple replacement terms for the same thing, or generating new conflicts around political correctness. [3] While euphemisms serve the purpose of avoiding taboo language, they must be used in moderation to avoid further issues.
