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.
