I HATE EUPHEMISMS

Today is "National Administrative Professionals Day";  what the Hell ever happened to secretaries? Does it really make a secretary feel more important to have that title?

I HATE euphemisms!  Euphemism:  "a substitution of a word, indirect or vague term for one which is considered to be unflattering, harsh, blunt, or offensive."  As for myself, I have no problem with the "real words".  Here is a list of my least favorite euphemisms:

GIRLS (women)
PASSED AWAY (died)
PUT-DOWN (they kill those animals)
DOMESTIC ENGINEER (housewife)
SANITATION ENGINEER (garbage collector)
BETWEEN JOBS (unemployed)
ECONOMICALLY DEPRESSED (broke)
WELL-TO-DO (rich)
DIFFERENTLY-ABLED (disabled)
CUSTODIAN (janitor)
CORRECTIONAL FACILITY (prison)
PREGGERS (pregnant)
SENIOR (old)
PRE-OWNED (used)

Listen to George Carlin who also hated euphemisms:.
