People use euphemisms a lot when they talk about difficult subjects, such as death and disease. Why do you think they do that?

Answer:

This device is used mostly when writing about matters such as sex, violence, death, crimes, and other things that we would consider to be "embarrassing". The purpose of euphemisms is to substitute unpleasant and severe words with more genteel ones, to try our best to mask the harshness.

Why were peasants the only ones who danced the walzer until the early eighteenth century?

JulsSmile [24]

Technically this has two answers. Peasants did not socialize with members of the upper class and therefore high society would not have been introduced to the dance until later in the century. However, the real true answer is because the dance was considered to be too bad mannered for refined people. Those of high society had their own dances and would almost never do anything that lower class people would do, but with this dance it was different. The dance required the couple to face each other in a closed position and they had to physically touch for the entire dance. This was simply not allowed for the elite because it was scandalous that unwedded men and women would ever be in such a position to resemble an intimate embrace.

lions [1.4K]

“I think that it is high time that we remembered that the Constitution speaks not only of the freedom of speech but also of trial by jury instead of trial by accusation. Whether it be a criminal prosecution in court or a character prosecution in the Senate, there is little practical distinction when the life of a person has been ruined.”
Although Senator Smith does not name anyone in this quotation, she is most likely referring to C. Joseph McCarthy, because she disagreed with his ideas and tactics, and thus spoke against him.
