Euphemism is defined according to various perspectives and views.

It is " a word or phrase that is used in place of a disagreeable or offensive word or phrase" ( Crystal,1987:8).Wardhaugh (1990:231) believes that euphemistic expressions are the substitution of non- committal , more pleasant or vague expression for one with unpleasant connotations or of less prestige .
