Father Wolf Posted February 16, 2009 Report Share Posted February 16, 2009 Euphemisms, a form of soft and comforting language that takes direct (some would say harsh) language and makes it sound less harsh without changing the general meaning. Example: shell shock (world war 1), battle fatigue (World War 2), Acute stress disorder (Kerean War), post-traumatic stress disorder (Vietnam and present). < all those words mean the SAME THING! we need to stop babying our self and start faceing reality.

Speak it the way it's suppose to be spoken. That's what I do. WARNING: I never said there wouldn't be consequences. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
