Euphemisms For Stupid People
A Euphemism is the substitution of a mild, indirect, or vague expression for one thought to be offensive, harsh, or blunt. The expression so substituted: “To pass away” is a euphemism for “to die.” Euphemisms are perfect for our human nature. Most everyone I know dislikes conflict, so these word substitutes allow the person to make his point without anyone getting bent out of shape.
A euphemism is an agreeable word or expression substituted for one that is potentially offensive, often having to do with bodily functions, sex, or death; for example, rest room for toilet, lady of the evening for prostitute.
The Nazis used euphemism in referring to their plan to murder the world's Jews as “the Final Solution.”
Now it all makes sense why we need to use euphemisms when referring to people who appear to be stupid. Here’s a great list to use when painting a picture of someone who is not measuring up. That wasn’t a euphemism…was it?
This video reveals the person these euphemisms are referring to.
