Me too I think. I don't know though, I was looking that word up and came upon this:
An agreeable word or expression substituted for one that is potentially offensive, often having to do with bodily functions, sex, or death; for example, rest room for toilet, lady of the evening for prostitute. The Nazis used euphemism in referring to their plan to murder the world's Jews as “the Final Solution.”
and I'm like.. wtf? lol

Nice examples of euphemism... egad...
How about: "an inoffensive or indirect expression that is substituted for one that is considered offensive or too harsh "

Wine is very acidic, but you still have to add the mushroom juice.
