Euphemism is a word or a phrase
which when replaced by another word, removes the statement potential to hurt
feelings or cause embarrassment, and instead replaces it with a word which
gives the statement harmless or otherwise positive connotation. Euphemism are
generally employed when the subject matter involves a social taboo of kind or
another. the example of euphmism :
1. you aren’t poor, you are economically
disadvantaged.
2. you aren’t broke, you have temporary
negative cash flow.
3. you do not live in a slum but in substandard
housing.
Trying to be the best ☺
