To Use In Place Of Another Word/Phrase. You Know Like Euphemism!

In short, Euphemism (n.) is the replacement of offensive language with nicer language. George Carlin (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vuEQixrBKCc) does an excellent job in demonstrating how euphemism works. Carlin illustrates how euphemism overpowers the thinking of the human mind to the extent that lays out some words said are better then others; therefore, we must say the nicer words over words that sound more objectionable. Carlin goes on to list all these words from years past and how they have evolved to be said as something different, but mean the exact same thing. How the words we use now compared to the words in the back of the days are more friendlier phrases or uses softer language. Is this right? Somehow there is a difference between blind and visually impaired, old and senior citizen, or crippled and the handicapped. Isn't occasional irregularity the same thing as diarrhea? Apparently not! Occasional irregularity sugar coats diarrhea in a way that it makes this grotesque word - diarrhea - sound not so bad. But in reality, it is the same word with the same meaning, and it should not ever matter which word one decides to use. Going back to the crippled and handicap (or those passengers in need of special assistance) example, Carlin rightfully states how there is no shame in cripples and nowhere in the dictionary does it say being crippled is shameful. In fact, Carlin mentions how in bible translations it says Jesus heals the CRIPPLES. Nowadays, however, it is no longer cripples anymore, but the physically challenged or differently able. Is there really a difference? I guess it all goes back to peoples viewpoints. The way one views one thing is seen differently in the eyes of another person. Therefore, a person can be fine with someone being called crippled, while another person is not okay with such remark and oftentimes takes offense. As a result, Euphemism is frequently used as a way to mask and make unpleasant words less insulting and more sweeter. Consequently, at this rate, euphemism is getting to a point where people are coming up with other names and sayings to replace words that did not even need replacing to begin with. Carlin has said more than once "simple, honest, and direct language." A seven word saying or even an eight word syllable can be condensed into a one clear and comprehensible word that stands for the same thing. With this being said, I ask you this: do you believe euphemism is getting out of hand?
