  • Euphemism & Dysphemism : Language Used As Shield And Weapon

  • Attribution

    Keith Allan, Kate Burridge

  • Publication Details

    Book, Oxford University Press, 1991

  • Description

    They discuss the many euphemisms and dysphemisms for tabooed body parts (there are, the authors point out, at least 1,200 terms for vagina and 1,000 for penis), bodily functions, death, and disease. (President Reagan, a master of euphemism, insisted that the attack on Grenada was not an “invasion,” but rather a “rescue mission.”) Along the way, the authors provide illuminating discussions of word origins, the use of bawdy language in Shakespeare, and many other fascinating topics.
