  • Euphemisms | Figure of speech13:30

    Euphemisms are ways to make mild or sanitise a word or phrase so as to remove its negative connotations. These words and expressions are used for polite language but they are also a way to manipulate people into not being aware of the harsher realities. Some like kick the bucket or attain the feet of the Lord are used for Death and these are harmless and benign but many are used for political and commercial manipulation. Knowing these expressions helps in comprehension and in reading for intention and inference.
