Euphemism
          There are many euphemisms in every country. Most of them are similar; however, there are a few differences. For example, when someone dies, we say he moved to God’s mercy. Also, we used the same expression that British people use for toile; we call it “water closet”. Instead of saying retarded, we call them people with special needs. We also call a garbage collector as sanitary worker. There are many other euphemisms, but unfortunately I can not remember every one right now.

  1. It seems like the euphemisms in your country are about the same as in the U.S.
