<u>Examples of euphenisms are</u>:
- 1.Nick was <u>stretching the truth</u> when he said that he was working on his second novel. <em>(Nick was saying something that wasn't exactly true...)</em>
- 3.The horse was <u>put to sleep</u> after injuring its leg at the derby. <em>(The horse was sacrified...)</em>
