Euphemism is a funny cloak for something you don't like, something you'd rather not mention at all. Those who use euphemisms are often allergic to plain speech, as it shows everything as it really is, not as how they'd like to see it.
Edit. Dolores Umbridge from HP is a brilliant caricature on them.
- burnished 2y agoThis opinion of yours is a bit shit. Euphemism is a barrier that can give you welcome distance when you need to discuss or reference something unbearable. I also want to point out the inherent absurdity of referencing an admitted caricature as if it was somehow demonstrative, especially considering the cartoonish villainy of the caricature.
