Definition: Euphemisms are a term that refers to the use of non-specific, or less specific, words in place of more precise ones. They are often used when communicating with people who do not understand certain terms or phrases, as they provide more information than direct language and can help avoid misinterpretation or misunderstanding. There are several types of euphemisms: 1. Personalized euphemisms: These use non-specific terms to express personal feelings, such as "I feel better" instead of "I am feeling better." 2. Cultural euphemisms: These use specific cultural terms to describe situations or events that are not appropriate for discussion in the Western context. 3. Political euphemisms: These use specific words related to political issues to avoid being overly sensitive or inappropriate. The word 'euphemism' refers to any term, phrase, or word used without a precise meaning and is usually used when communication is difficult due to ignorance of certain terms or phrases, as it provides more information than direct language and helps avoid misinterpretation.

Definition: Euphemism (1) means to use language in a way which avoids offense; to be mild or subtle (2) to conceal information or feelings. An euphemism may also refer to the use of slang, a term that refers to slang or informal expressions. In the English language, an euphemism is typically used to avoid offense by making statements less direct and more subtle than those commonly used in formal settings. These are often used to address someone who has not been offended but feels threatened by their words or actions. Euphemisms can be used in both formal and informal contexts. They are particularly useful for people who want to avoid being criticized or misunderstood, without appearing overly casual or rude. An example of an euphemism is "I'm sorry," which is used as a polite way to express regret rather than being angry. Similarly, the term "uh-oh" can be used instead of using strong words in formal situations.
