euphemism Ȥϲޤ Cruse Ѹ켭ŵͿ褦 (57--58)

euphemism An expression that refers to something that people hesitate to mention lest it cause offence, but which lessens the offensiveness by referring indirectly in some way. The most common topics for which we use euphemisms are sexual activity and sex organs, and bodily functions such as defecation and urination, but euphemisms can also be found in reference to death, aspects of religion and money. The main strategies of indirectness are metonymy, generalisation, metaphor and phonological deformation.

   Sex:
   intercoursego to bed with (metonymy), do it (generalisation)
   penisHis member was clearly visible (generalisation)
   Bodily function:
   defecatego to the toilet (metonymy), use the toilet (generalisation)
   Death:
   diepass away (metaphor), He's no longer with us (generalisation)
   Religion:
   Godgosh, golly (phonological deformation)
   Jesusgee whiz (phonological deformation)
   Hellheck (phonological deformation)

A few taboo words describing body parts started out as the 'normal' forms in Old English; one of the markers of the status difference between Anglo-Norman and Old English is the way the 'English' version became unacceptable, while the 'French' version became the polite or scientific term. The Old English 'scitte' gave way to the Anglo-Norman 'ordure' and later the Latin-via-French 'excrement'.

Onions ³ˡѤɽˤĤơ⤷ͤ󤻤Ƥ (334--35)

Their equation with certain Continental Germanic formulæ has been overlooked, and in general their force has been misapprehended. Their meaning is: "Let God (or Christ) know (it)," "God be my witness (to it)," "I call God to witness." They are strong asseverations, and are virtually equivalent to "I declare to God." They are therefore more forcible than God wot, Goddot . . . .
