Euphemisms

 What are Euphemisms?~ A mild or indirect word or expression substituted for a word or statement to be considered too harsh or blunt. 

My Favorite: 

Letting someone go: Instead of firing 

Frugal: Instead of cheap 

Visit the ladies room: Instead of going to the bathroom 

Golden years: Instead of old age
