Answer:

Euphemisms are substitutes for crude, hurtful, or otherwise offensive expressions. Euphemisms manipulate the meaning of a word or phrase to make them appear more pleasant. Because the purpose of euphemism is to disguise semantics and avoid saying what is meant, it has been called "the language of evasion, hypocrisy, prudery, and deceit,"
