Euphemisms Are Destroying The English Language (Unfinished)


from the ABC set In the lulls...

I hate euphemisms. They water down the english language and take away from the idea you're trying to express. Here are a few.

Soldiers don't experience shell shock, members of the armed forces get post-traumatic stress disorder.

Old people don't die, senior citizens pass away.

Bums became panhandlers.

Cops became members of the police force.

Toilet paper became bathroom tissue.

Porn became adult entertainment.
