Whenever you are in a fix concerning how best to express yourself, all you need may just be a figure of speech. Although the figurative elements are often associated with literature, many of them have general applications and can save the day at intriguing moments. Just imagine how a simple euphemism or sarcasm could have saved the embattled former Minister of Aviation, Femi Fani-Kayode, the day he verbally assaulted a journalist who asked him a question that unsettled him.
Yet, if one finds it compelling to say something negative about another person or something, the knowledge of euphemism can help. A figurative idea that describes an unpleasant scenario mildly, thus lessening the effect of the saying, euphemism can also help you to verbally assault other people without using actual words.
“You must have achieved a great feat today by so much attacking my character, saying someone is bankrolling me. Indeed, I really salute you for this.”
