Euphemism(Sungjoon Hong)

Euphemism's dictionary meaning is an indirect word or phrase that people often use to refer to something embarrassing or unpleasant, sometimes to make it seem more acceptable than it really is.

ex)die-pass away, expire, depart, decease, be gone....

Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and i'm not sure about the former.-Albert Einstein- This meaning is only human's stupidity is no limit.

We are not hypocrites in our sleep-William Hazlitt- Human is hypocrites in our life.

I think Euphemism is more polite way about language communication. If i using Euphemism, i can feel more polite . However, i am not sure about when can i using this way or not. that is really confusing to me. :)

Euphemism is good for protecting someone's feeling. However, over euphemism can make people feel bad. Sometimes, we need to say as we feel, and directly. When some people ask me a favor very indirectly, I feel sometimes very choky.
