Euphemism
A euphemism is a generally innocuous word or expression used in place of one that may be found offensive or suggest something unpleasant.
People use euphemisms to protect themselves and others from the harsh realities of life. Thus we use, senior citizen for old person, passed away for the dead etc.
Euphemisms often deal with profanity, body parts, bodily functions, s*x, death, murder, societal taboos, superstitions, or other issues that may not be considered fit for polite conversation or writing.
