"The more syllables a euphemism has, the further divorced from reality it is"
George Carlin (American stand-up comedian, actor and author. b.1937)

"Euphemisms are unpleasant truths wearing diplomatic cologne."
Quentin Crisp (English author, 1908-1999)

"Euphemisms are not, as many young people think, useless verbiage for that which can and should be said bluntly; they are like secret agents on a delicate mission, they must airily pass by a stinking mess with barely so much as a nod of the head"
Quentin Crisp (English author, 1908-1999)
