How did die become kick the bucket, underwear become unmentionables, and having an affair become hiking the Appalachian trail? Originally used to avoid blasphemy, honor taboos, and make nice, euphemisms have become embedded in the fabric of our language.

As much social commentary as a book for word lovers, Euphemania is a lively and thought-provoking look at the power of words and our power over them.Binding Type: Hardcover
