Colour It White! by lami4life(f): 11:19am On Feb 22, 2008
I've always had an admiration for good use of euphemism - packaging (in words) not-so-pleasant things or situations in a cute manner such that makes it look less embarrasing or unpleasant. I like these:

- Intellectually impaired (Stupid)
- Aesthetically disadvantaged (Ugly)
- A person of immense proportions (fat/big person)

Get creative with words! Or do you recall any you've read and would like to share? Let's hear it!
