39: Euphemisms

Update: 2018-06-06

Description

Certain topics in our society aren’t considered proper to talk about. To make it easier to talk about such sensitive subjects, we have invented terms that dance around the issues, instead of facing them directly.

Join me and guests, Steven Pinker, Phyllis Sommer and Kate Burridge as we dig into euphemisms.
