Doublespeak

In our world, double speak is used everyday without us even realizing it. Our day to day language expresses things we feel in metaphorical ways, called euphemism. A euphemism is an inoffensive or positive word or phrase used to avoid a harsh or unpleasant reality. For example, the expression "heart break" describes being deeply hurt by someone or something. We hurt so bad, that we describe it as literally as our heart breaking. This expression does not mean our heart is really breaking or broken, it just means we are deeply hurt or saddened. Another expression we use is "passing away." We use this expression when we want to say that somebody has died. Saying passing away is a nicer and more pleasant way of saying somebody has died without saying the actual harsh truth.
