Euphemism

I was teaching "euphemism" in class today. We were trying to decipher "euphemisms" in George Orwell's Animal Farm.

I had a list of examples, but had I seen this, this morning before class, I would've been thrilled.

NYT restaurant reviewer Pete Wells slaughters Guy Fieri's new multi-level, 500-seater "joint" in New York City's Time Square.

ny.eater.com re-presents the harshest lines from this x-tremely withering review euphemistically--via "adorable" kittens.

P.s. I can't stand Guy Fieri's TV show and his persona on that show. There's no euphemism for that.
