What are 50 examples of euphenism?

Euphemisms are mild or indirect expressions used to replace harsher or more direct terms. Examples include "passed away" for "died," "let go" for "fired," "adult beverages" for "alcohol," "between jobs" for "unemployed," "downsize" for "lay off," "visually impaired" for "blind," "big-boned" for "overweight," "senior citizen" for "old person," "correctional facility" for "prison," and "expecting" for "pregnant." These phrases soften the impact of the original terms and make discussions around sensitive subjects more palatable.


What is the difference between an idiom and an euphenism?

idioms are common phrases or sayings that cannot be understood by these individual words or elements. euphemisms on the other hand are the alternative way to say a certain word. example: garbage man-sanitary worker
