I. What is Euphemism? Euphemisms are polite, mild phrases which substitute unpleasant ways of saying something sad or uncomfortable. Euphemism (pronounced yoo-fuh-miz-uhm) is derived from the Greek phrase euphÄmismos, meaning âto sound good.â. Euphemisms are often used in everyday speech to soften difficult situations.
Euphemism describes a polite, agreeable, or inoffensive word or expression that is used in place of one that is harsh, rude, or offensive. Also, pleasant or inoffensive language used to soften or mask upsetting truths (e.g., to pass on instead of to die). All of us use euphemisms. Because they are so much a part of us, it can be difficult to get through an entire day without using them. Many add a note of humor. Some are simply ridiculous. As writers, we must be careful when using euphemisms for they can get in the way of effective communication. They often distort or conceal.
