what's a euphemism?
Posted by abaleh at February 11, 2006 06:56 AMTotes, a euphemism is: "The act or an example of substituting a mild, indirect, or vague term for one considered harsh, blunt, or offensive."
In this case, it was substituting a seemingly innocent term as a stand-in for something sexually explicit.

Posted by abaleh at February 14, 2006 02:35 AMHa! I almost asked your sister if you really and truly didn't know what a euphemism was, or if you were toying with me. It just didn't seem right that a former ex-submarine crack Navy military mind wouldn't know.
And here I thought you were just that innocent.
