Lizada: Euphemisms

"A ROSE is a rose is a rose."

A euphemism is a word or phrase that people use so as not to insult other persons. They are carefully crafted word combinations that people use so as not to offend. These words mean to be polite but sometimes they can become funny. Here are some words that I took from various websites and their Tagalog or Bisayan counterparts. Remember this is just for fun! Enjoy.
