Slightly OT, but I find tvtropes.org as a whole totally fascinating. Partly it's having my eyes opened to the substructure that spans across our media, and partly it's just awe at how enormous and meticulously thorough this taxonomy of concepts is.
- ghayes 6y agoThe wealth of knowledge is unreal, however, I feel it's unorganized. For example, I wish I could see the most noteworthy examples of a trope, but often times you basically get a list of "In season 2, episode 6 of Avatar: The Last Airbender, Aang uses the phrase "dang" which is a euphemism"
- Veen 6y agoYour comment made me wonder if there was a more precise term for that type of euphemism. Apparently, it's called a "minced oath". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minced_oath https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minced_oath
