I was leafing through Carlin's book "Braindroppings" and I found these euphemisms, and I have to tell ya, I like 'em too!

Blow job= holistic massage therapy
Cheap hotel= limited service lodging
Baldness= acquired uncombable hair
Loan-sharking= interim financing
seat belt/air bag= impact management system
nonbelievers= the unchurched
smuggling= commodity relocation
cardboard box= makeshift home
bad loans= non performing assets
gangs= nontraditional organized crime
junk mail= direct marketing
soda jerk= fountain attendant

Carlin has tons of these(at least a lot), and I just typed my favorites. What are your best euphemisms? Share them with us! There has to be newer ones, this book was written in '97.

Even the people who scrape crap and roadkill off the highways are now called 'Debris-orientated scientists.'
