Euphemism is the replacing of words by inoffensive or polite substitutes. Words are referred to as euphemisms when they provide a socially or politically correct means of expressing a private, awkward, or controversial subject.
(see examples at the related question and link)
Euphemism is a substitution of an agreeable word or phrase for something which would offend or something unpleasant to hear. An example of a sentence using euphemism is: He passed away. It seems less harsh than saying he died.

In "The Giver," some euphemisms for "bathroom" could include "relief room" or "sanitation station." For "garbage collector," euphemisms might include "clean-up crew" or "waste management worker."
It is particularly in Antigone's last scene that euphemisms are found in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, euphemisms are round about ways of discussing delicate or heart wrenching topics. For example, Theban Princess Antigone offers euphemisms for death. For example, she speaks of Hades giving sleep to mortals. She then talks of setting forth on her last trip, which is a euphemism for death.

Chinese and Western euphemisms often reflect differing cultural values and communication styles. In Chinese culture, euphemisms tend to emphasize harmony and face-saving, often avoiding direct confrontation or negative implications to maintain social cohesion. In contrast, Western euphemisms may prioritize politeness but can also be more straightforward, sometimes reflecting individualism and a willingness to address uncomfortable topics directly. Overall, while both cultures use euphemisms to soften language, the underlying motivations and contexts can significantly differ.
