Quentin Crisp once quipped that "euphemisms are unpleasant truths
wearing diplomatic cologne." This leading commentator on the
English language has ranged far and wide to collect and comment
upon 2,467 examples of euphemistic phrases--those expressions that
so inventively display the art of mincing words. From the
politically correct to the highly incorrect, this book goes in
ruthless pursuit of the coy, the prudish, the squeamish, the
obfuscatory, and the blatant reshaping of the truth. So whether you
"have to see a man about a dog" or just need to "powder your nose,"
this entertaining reference will show you how not to say what you
mean.
