ABOUT THE LESSON 📚 Euphemisms are great. And let me tell you why. If you don't want to say something because it's too direct, rude, or even embarrassing, you should use a euphemism instead. They're more polite, pleasant, and even fun to say. Not to mention, native speakers use them all the time. So if you don't want to be jerk, then it's usually better to use a euphemism to get your point across.
Here's a list of the euphemisms...
1) to be let go (from a job)
2) to be between jobs
3) have to go number one
4) have to go number two
5) to do some business
6) powder one's nose
7) big-boned
8) love handles
9) make love
10) to lose one's lunch
11) not the sharpest tool in the shed
12) pass away
13) kick the bucket
