Generally Euphemism is use to make something sound more positive. However it also makes the word hide the truth. On the other hand, Dysphemism is the opposite of Euphemism. Hence word are depends on the contents itself, it shall not be judge by the perception of human who thought or see it as a foul word.
From the work that I have assigned to do, these are a few words of Euphemism and Dysphemism.
”Sins of the Father
A string of sex abuse scandals across Europe rock the Catholic Church and threatens to undermine Pope Benedict XVI “
Times magazine
• ‘A string’ in this article is meant to be dysphemistic and means ‘series’.
• ‘Sex abuse’ is a euphemistic word. It reference for ‘cruelty in sexual category’.
• ‘Scandals’ is a euphemistic word. It actually mean by a ‘disgrace attitude’.
• ‘Rock’ is dysphemistic word. It refers to ‘shock’.
Well folks if you look carefully each word that you read you will be able to distinguish whether it Euphemism or Dysphemism. It’s a fun thing to do. When you actually understand the real meaning hold by the word.
