You just rocked it, nailed it and killed it....! Actually, I was looking for some videos on euphemisms since It was also very important to communicate your thoughts without hurting or making other offended. So, thank you so much for that from the bottom of my heart. It would be great if you make a sequel of this video:) ❤ Here are some examples include the euphemisms taught in this video- 1. I really miss my Grandma a lot. I know she must be in better place and ostracizing good things for me and my family. 2. It rattles his cage that he is going to suffer downsizing despite giving his best in the company. 3. It's axiomatic that when people become over the hill so they act like kids and It's our responsibility to repay the love they have given us. 4. Religiously speaking, putting down someone or somebody is not a good thing at all. Let the Almighty take the life when he wants. 5. My mother tells me when I was a bun in her oven then she would pray to God for giving her a handsome chap and lo and behold! Her wish was granted...

I'm a native speaker, & I didn't know about "over the hill". 😅 Thank you for sharing. In my defense though, I was raised by my mom & grandma, & they are both native Spanish speakers, so ... I didn't pick this phrase up from 'outside influences' apparently. Also, "passed away" should have definitely been on here. That one is extremely important to know.

What's the difference between idiom and euphemisms?

[@englishlinguistics9617]

I learned this at my university

[@comeconcon569]

Euphemism is an expression that is gentler or less direct than the one normally used to refer to something unpleasant or embarrassing. for example: Ian and Lisa slept together last night meaning they both had sexual relations last night.

I'd rather be called "old" than over the hill. What's this "hill" that they're supposed to be over. It sounds a lot ruder than "richly experienced." Sorry but my birthday's just around the corner and i'm AT that age that people call over the hill. Vicki, the Older Half; he's the younger half. :)
