Euphemism is from the greek 'eu' which means 'good' and 'pheme' which means 'speech'. Euphemism is the act of substituting a milder, less harsh, less upsetting word or phrase for a harsher one. An example of a euphemism is saying "Mr. Jones 'passed away' Friday," instead of "Mr. Jones 'died' Friday."
An example of using 'euphemistic' in a sentence is:
Bob, who swears every time he opens his mouth at home, is euphemistic while in church.

∙ 11y agoIf you mean euphemism (an inoffensive word or phrase substituted for one that might be offensive or upsetting), there are too many to list. There are loads just about disposing of bodily wastes - e.g. powdering one's nose, visiting the little boy's/girl's room, seeing a man about a dog etc. etc. (Probably millions for making love, but I won't go into that)
