Euphemisms are unpleasant truths wearing diplomatic cologne.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I've never been a fan of euphemism.
Any euphemism ceases to be euphemistic after a time and the true meaning begins to show through. It's a losing game, but we keep on trying.
Euphemism in the workplace does not end with job descriptions. It reaches a pusillanimous peak at the other end of the work process - in dismissal.
Sometimes the very best way to deal with unpleasant things is to depict them in ways that allow people to laugh at them and destroy the power of unsayable things, rather than refusing to acknowledge them.
Flattery is like cologne water, to be smelt, not swallowed.
Words may be false and full of art; Sighs are the natural language of the heart.
Somebody saying something offensive to you or insulting to you is not pleasant, but it's part of life.
It shows the truth - that the real meaning of a word is only as powerful or harmless as the emotion behind it.
Being German, I think we don't really express a lot of things.
Euphemism is a euphemism for lying.
