ENGLISH NAMES IT AS:

                                            We often have to sound sweet even when or mostly when we have to point out others’ mistakes.More often we hear those talkings from our beloved superiors.These talkings as English calls them as euphemisms, sometimes make truth less bitterful and sometimes they hide the very message .Eupemism is a loan word from Greek meaning auspicious usage of words.

                                         Euphemistically speaking, we never copy in our exams. We just use peer homework help (or) we collaborate in our exams.        We never lied. some ‘terminological inexactitudes’ (I like this one)might be there in what we said.The beauty of euphemism is that it makes a second-hand car a pre-owned car (or) a pre-loved car.The term ‘correctional facility’for jail actually brings better meaning to the public and the prisoners.

                                             On the contrary,there are some euphemisms that actually take away the feelings we would have if stated otherwise.Some hospital mentioned a death of a patient by some medicine they administered as ‘therapeutic misadventure’.I heard the officials in crime department call ‘an extended interrogation technique’which is what those who are interrogated call as torture.

THE STORY BEHIND THE WORD:

                                 Excuse me as I have to go on with a phrase now and whenever applicable.                                                                                             

                                              BREAK THE ICE                   

                         We say this to mean breaking the silence and to make a good start with a conversation.Earlier, in cold countries, people had to pass frozen river to start their business in new places.what they did for a good start in their business?They broke the ice. ofcourse that’s the reason why we call starting a conversation as breking the ice.c u soon with some more English.
