advertising euphemisms. Manufacturers and their ad agen- cies have originated some ingenious if sometimes silly euphe- misms in touting their products. Here is a short collection, to which you may want to add your favorites: underarm (armpit); halitosis (bad breath); derriere (buttocks); irregularity (consti- pation); foundation garment (corset); color-correct hair (dye hair); problem days (menses); lingerie (underwear). |
