What is the point of euphemisms and who would be most likely to use them?

The point of a euphemism is to take away any nasty connotations a word might have... The word comes from the Greek "eu~" meaning 'well' and phémé meaning 'speaking'.
So that a nasty word like "death" is tidied up by calling it "passed on".
Those most likely to use a euphemism can be divided into two groups....1, those who find some subjects difficult to acknowledge, and 2, those who are speaking to someone in group 1.
