Euphemisms

[Warm, expressive tone]
"English has a polite side… ✨
Instead of being too blunt, we sometimes soften our words — and that’s called a euphemism.

For example:
👉 We say “passed away” instead of “died.”
👉 “Let go” instead of “fired.”
👉 “Senior citizen” instead of “old person.”
👉 And “between jobs” instead of “unemployed.”

Euphemisms make our speech sound gentle and respectful — even when the truth is a bit uncomfortable! 😅

So tell me — what’s your favorite euphemism in English?
Comment below and let’s talk about it! 💬

Mondegreens – Misheard Words or Phrases

Ever confidently sung a song… only to find out you’ve been singing the wrong lyrics all along? 😅

Examples:
🎵 “Sweet dreams are made of cheese” → actually “Sweet dreams are made of these.”
🎵 “Hold me closer, Tony Danza” → actually “Hold me closer, tiny dancer.”
🎵 “There’s a bathroom on the right” → actually “There’s a bad moon on the rise.”

🎯 Malapropisms – When Words Go Hilariously Wrong!

Ever heard someone say a word so confidently… but it wasn’t the right one? 😅
That’s a malapropism — when you use a word that sounds similar to the correct one but has a totally different meaning.

Here are a few funny examples:
😂 “Texas has a lot of electrical votes.” (electoral)
😂 “He’s the pineapple of politeness.” (pinnacle)
😂 “I might fade into Bolivian.” (oblivion)

Malapropisms remind us that English can be tricky but fun! 💫

Ever noticed some words don’t change no matter how you flip them? 👀
Words like level, civic, and madam read the same backward and forward!

These are called palindromes. ✨

Even phrases can be palindromes—like Never odd or even or the classic A man, a plan, a canal, Panama!

Palindromes make English quirky, fun, and unforgettable.
