Don, if you use the edit button you can change the title to Favourite euphemismsSorry, that wasn't a euphemism, well I suppose it was as I could have said that you had foolishly cocked up the title  |

The word "borrow" in any context involving a teenager
in agreement with DB's "having a domestic", "philosophical discussion", esp. with management.

I've never even heard that one, Mort. I had to look it up.
I don't like euphemisms, particularly euphemisms about death - passed away, passed on, that sort of thing. I suppose I use some - everyone does.

"A committed performance".
I can well imagine that is code. What exactly is it code for? Stodgy and dull? |

At every one of these [classical] concerts in England you will find rows of weary people who are there, not because they really like classical music, but because they think they ought to like it. (Shaw, Don Juan in Hell)
