Euphemism: (n) the substitution of an agreeable or inoffensive expression for one that may offend or suggest something unpleasant.
Spotted in student writing this week -
"Bella walked down the stairs during her wedding. They cut the cake, left on the honeymoon, and sailed to the island called Isle Esme, and yeah. . . Bella got hurt. (Edward) made her breakfast."
Snort.
