Euphemisms are an important part of human communication and allow us to tone down or mask offensive or unpleasant expressions by replacing them with softer or socially acceptable terms. They are omnipresent in our daily interactions, be it in conversation, writing or the media, as they play a crucial role in maintaining social harmony and avoiding unnecessary conflict. The aim of this article is to analyze the use of euphemisms, their impact on communication and the consequences they can have on society.
