eu·phe·mism (noun) [yoofa mizzem ] a word or phrase used in place of a term that might be considered too direct, harsh, unpleasant, or offensive
caroline was passing out spoons the other night at the dinner table...apparently she gave emma the wrong spoon. caroline said "shoot. i gave her the wrong spoon." i said "did you say shoot?" she said "yes. but at least i didn't say holy shoot."
i can post this one because i KNOW she didn't learn it from me - not quite sure who she picked this one up from...but it wasn't me (that's not one of my euphemistic curse words of choice)!
she's also been known to say "what the heck" "dang it" and a f heavy "fiddlesticks" (only one of those is from me....)
ahh....the things they soak in. may our words be ones that honor Him...even in the euphemisms
