A euphemism is an expression intended by the speaker to be less offensive, disturbing, or troubling to the listener than the word or phrase it replaces.

Player1:

differently-abled

Player2:

handicapped

behind

Player3:

derriere

passed away


PS: Please construct a sentence using the euphemism to make it easier to answer. Thank you.

*Pout* You're supposed to answer his euphemism and then make your own.

Like this.

Fat.

His clothes have seen better days.


The next player would then tell us the meaning of the euphemism that I used.
