Did you know that the word “euphemism” is, itself, a euphemism?

Yep, that’s right. If someone near you starts talking about your euphemism it means they’re calling you one of two things:

1) If you are male, they’re calling you a sissy.
2) If you are female, they’re calling you a paragon of womanly virtue.

It’s true! Honest!

Do I have to lay it out for you syllable by syllable? ‘Cause I’m not going to.

Ok, fine, I’ll at least point you in the right direction.

Think of the word “euphemism” as “your-fem-ism”.

Get it?

Good. Now stop whining. You’ve already displayed enough euphemistic tendencies for one day.
