The Importance Of Euphemism Metaphor

Metaphor is a speech meaning that is generally implicit and it replaces literary meaning. For example; go to the happy hunting grounds or kick the bucket for “die” and the miraculous pitcher for “vagina” (Allan and Burridge, 1991:15). I assume that metaphoric euphemism is used to replace words that might be impolite using metaphoric terms as sweetened cover.
Euphemism metaphor is characterized by a term that is replaced with the metaphoric like the explanations above. Euphemism metaphor may also be used for any replaced terms that achieve their effects via association, comparison or resemblance.
