An Exposed Bin

Freddy was visiting a friend the other day. He had some trash that he wanted to throw away, but could not find where the rubbish bin had been placed. So he asked, "Where can I throw this away?" And his friend replied, "Oh, just open the cupboard , it's in there. I don't like having an exposed bin." Freddy, of course, replied, "Is that a euphemism?"

Euphemistically Speaking

A student told Freddy once:

"Sorry, I didn't finish my homework for today. I was busy last night helping my dad find his toupee."

Is that a Euphemism?

Euphemistically speaking...

Freddy was reading "Little Red Riding Hood" the other day and came across the following passage:

"The woodchopper carried Grandmother back to her bed. Then they all had a snack from Little Red Riding Hood's basket of goodies."

Is that a euphemism?

Euphemistically Speaking...

Today Freddy was in a colleagues office discussing a business matter. Another colleague entered and asked, "Can I look in your trash? I think I may have forgotten something."

Freddy said, "What's that supposed to mean, is that some sort of euphemism?" Which earned him a chuckle, followed by a dirty look, followed by a kick... and one last chuckle.

Freddy loves euphemisms!
