The Hospice nearby has started running a radio ad where rather than talk about death or terminal illness they have started using the phrase “life limiting illness”. Thought you might enjoy

Oh…but Chelsea Lately like to use the euphe, “KA-SLOPUS” to mean the very private part of her body. Euphemism in place of sexual or other terms is the latest technique to get past the network censors.

To me, saying something directly or indirectly makes no difference. Why say it if you don’t want it to be obvious?????

Hope you don’t mind the retort!!!!!!!

Thanks for the comment, Bingkee… gentle words in this time of global crisis and despair, indeed, goes a long, long way! Let’s continue to be a positive influence through gentle words and deeds… mabuhay ang Pinoy for our continuing resiliency and positivism despite the odds!

I believe that words can have a powerful effect to a spirit or esteem. It can pierce one’s heart or restore one’s life . That is why we must be gentle in words even if it means saying the truth or what they need to hear. I don’t think that’s damage control. Gentle words is summed up as wisdom because one knows how to use words effectively to gain peace, understanding, love or any other positive response a rather than creating conflict.

Thanks Windy, for the vote of confidence…

With the nature of our job, can’t do otherwise but to learn some few lines of euphemism – like how to say no with a smile…

Patrick,

At last I see your genius. You don’t need to be shy about it. Flaunt it mannnn.

But euphemism is not anywhere in my vocabulary.

I like calling a spade a spade. Makes less talk like telling some asshole that I have awarded him the “Brain in your Bum Award”.

Hahahaha
