This is an ongoing collection of euphemisms, built from contributions sent be readers, and personal research. At the beginning, the project was never intended to be participatory, and now this page is becoming increasingly long and unwieldy. For this reason I am going to build a stand alone site dedicated to this project.

For now, I will not continue updating this list, but if you email me then I will keep your contributions for the new site.

I will keep you posted!

All the best, Lyn
