Our Garrulous Grammarian says one way you might guess you’ve been listening to a Politically Correct Person is when you hear that person use a lot of “Euphemisms.” What’s a “Euphemism?” According to Dictonary.com, it’s when you use a mild, indirect, or vague expression for one thought to be offensive, harsh, or blunt.
Garrulous says the most common euphemism is probably “passed away,” which many people – including newscasters who obviously know better – use instead of “died.” Politicians always say they “misspoke” when they really “lied.” And Obama has always used “Euphemisms” to obscure his unpopular agenda.
