A: What did you say..?
B: …euphemism.
A: What’s a «euphemism»?
B: When reality is cruel, and you try to hide it using softer words.
A: Like how?
B: You know when you invent a «right to kill off your offspring» and name it «reproductive right».
A: Ehh, okay?
B: Well, that’s it.
How much better wouldn’t our society be if logos were more appreciated than pathos?
