ABOUT THE LESSON 📚

If you don't want to say something because it's too direct, rude, or even embarrassing, you should use a euphemism instead. They're more polite, pleasant, and even fun to say.

So let's talk about some euphemisms that native speakers use them all the time and that you need to know.

If you would like to review, here are the euphemisms from the lesson.

1. over the hill
2. (someone's) better half
3. hearing impaired
4. hard of hearing
5. downsizing
6. early retirement
7. the birds and the bees
8. carnal knowledge
9. (to be) expecting
10. to have a bun in the oven
11. to put down
12. (someone) is in a better place
