Dan: At six PM, we stand round the computer and read the next day’s page, make final changes, put in a few euphemisms to amuse ourselves…
Alice: Such as?
Dan: “He was a convivial fellow” - meaning he was an alcoholic. “He valued his privacy” - gay. “He enjoyed his privacy” - raging queen."
Hilarious. Then there are the euphemisms for body parts and functions and sexually activities that amuse the giggling adolescent in us all.
Got any good euphemisms to share? Use the comments box.
Possibly one of my favourite films. Bashing the Bishop is pretty amusing too. Will have to use that sometime soon. Put me down for 'Low weights, high repetitions' until i think of something funnier

DOWNSIZING - sacking employees
