"Sorry this was meant to be about euphemisms but just turned into word vomit ![]() No apology needed. In general using euphemisms is better than brutal word use for the sake of feelings. Even if some of them are cringy like "passed" for "died" | |||

"Some euphemisms are quite quaint and the history behind them can be fascinating. Spend a penny springs to mind. And there are endless ones for masturbation, punishing the pope, bashing the bishop, flicking the bean etc etc. I think it’s a very British thing too although happy to be corrected if anyone knows if euphemisms are common in other places " It is the same in other languages, maybe for different topics although many of our British taboos are also considered taboos in other cultures. | |||

"This is coming off the back of another thread but also actually in response to the many other threads that have had a go at women using the "wrong" descriptors for their bodies. It's called a fucking euphemism, genius. If you're out at a restaurant and you need to pee, do you just loudly exclaim "I need to forcefully expel some excrement from my bladder" or do you politely excuse yourself to "pop to the loo"? If you're at a funeral, do you tell the bereaved "ah yes, they definitely look dead" or do you say "I'm very sorry for your loss"? More importantly, does anyone ever call you up on it when you don't use "correct" terminology? "Fat" is a negative word to many. Because people have made it so with their judgemental comments. Some people are fat and proud and have no issue with the word. Others are fat and are self conscious of it and so prefer to use euphemisms. Then there's those who are fat and actively trying to do something about it. Those are the people who feel shit about their bodies as it is. Who already know all the stats and dangers of being obese and are tired of having to justify themselves. Who are trying to learn to love themselves on the way to being healthy and seeing this judgement every day is like taking two massive steps back. Why do you feel the need to contribute to someone's unhappiness in this way? Just check the fucking photos. If they're not to your liking, then move on. " I do euphemisms in ways of easing someone’s pain or to save embarrassment. I would never use them to describe somebody’s physical appearance. You can describe someone easily though positive attributes without resorting to comments or insults no matter how veiled they are | |||
