In the age when torture has become "enhanced interrogation techniques"; when the rich are "job creators"; when murdered children are "collateral damage"; it is good to remember these brilliant words from the late, great, George Carlin.
It is also good to remember that the phrase "Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder" has now been officially changed in American English to "PTSD", a totally lifeless non-threatening acronym, totally devoid of even pity and with an almost whiny feel to it.

In her talk, Phyllis shares how her son Sam’s illness and death have caused her to rethink the way she speaks, drawing from her own experience in learning that the word dead takes on a different meaning when applied to an uncharged cell phone and one’s deceased brother who will never return.
Phyllis regularly blogs (and tweets!) about the ins-and-outs of her life as rabbi, wife, and mother of four, leading the Huffington Post to name her as one of their “Influential Jewish Twitter Users” of 2011. But most recently, she has chronicled her family’s experiences in the aftermath of the cancer diagnosis, treatment, and death of her son, Sam.

In an entertaining analysis with colourful examples from the English language, Kate Burridge talks about what we'd rather NOT talk about: euphemism. Words that shield us against what's embarrassing, what's feared, and what's disliked. She explains how euphemisms are created, how they wear out, and why, ultimately, they make our lives easier.
Kate Burridge is currently Professor of Linguistics at Monash University in Melbourne and is a fellow of the Australian Academy of the Humanities. She is a regular commentator in the media and has authored many books on language. Linguistic taboos have always intrigued her, especially the ins and outs of those expressions we create to speak the unspeakable.
TEDxSydney 2012 took place on Saturday 26 May 2012 at Carriageworks. Tens of thousands of people enjoyed the day: 800 in the theatre, over 1,000 via big screen simulcast in The Forum, many thousands online via YouTube and ABC Big Ideas ... and up to 80,000 tuning in to ABC Radio National.

Learn English Vocabulary: Euphemism / Definition of Euphemism: a mild or polite term in place of a harsh or blunt word.
VIDEO TRANSCRIPT / ENGLISH CAPTIONS AND SUBTITLES
A euphemism is a polite term or expression that is used instead of one that is too harsh or blunt. Basically, it is a nicer way to tell the truth. Examples of euphemisms. Passed away, instead of died. Big-boned instead of fat.
Man: Honey, I'm tired of the media being so politically correct.
Woman: I know exactly what you mean.
Man: For instance, the anchor said, "The old man passed away." He didn't pass away. He died. Died, I tell you. Not passed away. Died.
Woman: And don't forget how the anchor said, the intellectually disabled woman, was arrested, at her mobile home community. Instead, they should have said, "The retard, was arrested, at her trailer park."
Man: Exactly. I find it really annoying, how the news resorts to euphemisms, instead of telling it like it is. Why beat around the bush?

Amateur linguists will recognize the phenomenon Carlin describes as the "euphemism treadmill," in which new words are invented to avoid the negative connotations that the old ones have taken on.
George Denis Patrick Carlin (May 12, 1937 -- June 22, 2008)... may he rest in peace.

A euphemism is a generally harmless word, name, or phrase that substitutes an offensive or suggestive one. Some euphemisms intend to amuse, while others intend to give positive appearances to negative events or even mislead entirely. Euphemisms also often take the place of profanity. The opposite of euphemism roughly equates to dysphemism.
The word euphemism comes from the Greek word ευφημία (euphemia), meaning "the use of words of good omen", which in turn is derived from the Greek root-words eu (ευ), "good/well" + pheme (φήμι) "speech/speaking". The eupheme was originally a word or phrase used in place of a religious word or phrase that should not be spoken aloud; etymologically, the eupheme is the opposite of the blaspheme (evil-speaking). Primary examples of taboo words requiring the use of a euphemism are names for deities, such as Persephone, Hecate, or Nemesis. The term euphemism itself was used as a euphemism by the ancient Greeks, meaning "to keep a holy silence" (speaking well by not speaking at all).

George Denis Patrick Carlin (May 12, 1937 – June 22, 2008) was an American stand-up comedian, social critic, satirist, actor and writer/author, who won five Grammy Awards for his comedy albums.
Carlin was noted for his black humor as well as his thoughts on politics, the English language, psychology, religion, and various taboo subjects. Carlin and his "Seven Dirty Words" comedy routine were central to the 1978 U.S. Supreme Court case F.C.C. v. Pacifica Foundation, in which a narrow 5–4 decision by the justices affirmed the government's power to regulate indecent material on the public airwaves.
The first of his fourteen stand-up comedy specials for HBO was filmed in 1977. In 1988, the 1990s and 2000s, Carlin's routines focused on socio-cultural criticism of modern American society. He often commented on contemporary political issues in the United States and satirized the excesses of American culture. His final HBO special, It's Bad for Ya, was filmed less than four months before his death.

William "Bill" Maher, Jr. (
/ˈmɑːr/; born January 20, 1956) is an American stand-up comedian, television host, political commentator, author, and actor. Before his current role as the host of HBO's Real Time with Bill Maher, Maher hosted a similar late-night talk show called Politically Incorrect originally on Comedy Central and later on ABC.
Maher is known for his political satire and sociopolitical commentary, which targets a wide swath of topics including religion, politics, bureaucracies of many kinds, political correctness, the mass media, greed among people and persons in positions of high political and social power, and the lack of intellectual curiosity in the electorate. He supports the legalization of marijuana and same-sex marriage, and serves on the board of PETA. He is also a critic of religion and is an advisory board member of Project Reason, a foundation to promote scientific knowledge and secular values within society. In 2005, Maher ranked at number 38 on Comedy Central's 100 greatest stand-up comedians of all time. Bill Maher received a Hollywood Walk of Fame star on September 14, 2010.

George Carlin Euphemism ExamplesGeorge Carlin Euphemism Examples
Euphemisms are mild or pleasant words or phrases used instead of those that are unpleasant or offensive. In George Carlin's comedy skit he discusses the danger of using euphemisms too much. This clip is only 3 minutes of a nine minute skit because Carlin's performance can be offensive to many and inappropriate for most situations. I do not agree with all Carlin proposes, but this first bit raises an interesting question about the use of euphemisms while presenting multiple examples of the term. -

Words that shield us against what's embarrassing, what's feared, and what's disliked. She explains how euphemisms are created, how they wear out, and why, ultimately, they make our lives easier. Kate Burridge is currently Professor of Linguistics at Monash University in Melbourne and is a fellow of the Australian Academy of the Humanities. She is a regular commentator in the media and has authored many books on language. Linguistic taboos have always intrigued her, especially the ins and outs of those expressions we create to speak the unspeakable. TEDxSydney 2012 took place on Saturday 26 May 2012 at Carriageworks.

George Carlin Euphemism Examples
Euphemisms are mild or pleasant words or phrases used instead of those that are unpleasant or offensive. In George Carlin's comedy skit he discusses the danger of using euphemisms too much. This clip is only 3 minutes of a nine minute skit because Carlin's performance can be offensive to many and inappropriate for most situations. I do not agree with all Carlin proposes, but this first bit raises an interesting question about the use of euphemisms while presenting multiple examples of the term. -

In the age when torture has become "enhanced interrogation techniques"; when the rich are "job creators"; when murdered children are "collateral damage"; it is good to remember these brilliant words from the late, great, George Carlin.
It is also good to remember that the phrase "Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder" has now been officially changed in American English to "PTSD", a totally lifeless non-threatening acronym, totally devoid of even pity and with an almost whiny feel to it.

In her talk, Phyllis shares how her son Sam’s illness and death have caused her to rethink the way she speaks, drawing from her own experience in learning that the word dead takes on a different meaning when applied to an uncharged cell phone and one’s deceased brother who will never return.
Phyllis regularly blogs (and tweets!) about the ins-and-outs of her life as rabbi, wife, and mother of four, leading the Huffington Post to name her as one of their “Influential Jewish Twitter Users” of 2011. But most recently, she has chronicled her family’s experiences in the aftermath of the cancer diagnosis, treatment, and death of her son, Sam.

In an entertaining analysis with colourful examples from the English language, Kate Burridge talks about what we'd rather NOT talk about: euphemism. Words that shield us against what's embarrassing, what's feared, and what's disliked. She explains how euphemisms are created, how they wear out, and why, ultimately, they make our lives easier.
Kate Burridge is currently Professor of Linguistics at Monash University in Melbourne and is a fellow of the Australian Academy of the Humanities. She is a regular commentator in the media and has authored many books on language. Linguistic taboos have always intrigued her, especially the ins and outs of those expressions we create to speak the unspeakable.
TEDxSydney 2012 took place on Saturday 26 May 2012 at Carriageworks. Tens of thousands of people enjoyed the day: 800 in the theatre, over 1,000 via big screen simulcast in The Forum, many thousands online via YouTube and ABC Big Ideas ... and up to 80,000 tuning in to ABC Radio National.

Learn English Vocabulary: Euphemism / Definition of Euphemism: a mild or polite term in place of a harsh or blunt word.
VIDEO TRANSCRIPT / ENGLISH CAPTIONS AND SUBTITLES
A euphemism is a polite term or expression that is used instead of one that is too harsh or blunt. Basically, it is a nicer way to tell the truth. Examples of euphemisms. Passed away, instead of died. Big-boned instead of fat.
Man: Honey, I'm tired of the media being so politically correct.
Woman: I know exactly what you mean.
Man: For instance, the anchor said, "The old man passed away." He didn't pass away. He died. Died, I tell you. Not passed away. Died.
Woman: And don't forget how the anchor said, the intellectually disabled woman, was arrested, at her mobile home community. Instead, they should have said, "The retard, was arrested, at her trailer park."
Man: Exactly. I find it really annoying, how the news resorts to euphemisms, instead of telling it like it is. Why beat around the bush?
