Description

A euphemism is a word or expression used in place of one that may be found
offensive or suggest something unpleasant. Some euphemisms are intended to
be funny while others are used to say something that would be very
inappropriate to say otherwise.

While they might seem confusing or vague to someone learning English,
native speakers use them constantly and can really help you to sound more
fluent.

Join us for today’s episode as we discuss "doing your business”, “
big-boned,” and other common euphemisms.
