leeneia BS: Language Pet Peeves (2488* d) RE: BS: Language Pet Peeves 28 Jul 22


New topic. I just came across a YouTube video on the deaths of organized criminals, and the video proved to be a treasure trove of a particular peeve of mine - mealy-mouthed euphemisms that cover up the horror of crimes. Here's a list; I don't think I need to explain.

hit
hitman
rackets
took him for a drive
capo
lieutenant
enforcer
outfit
gunman
crime boss
took out
protection

============
To back up some, after an animal is butchered, it needs to be hung up for a while under refrigeration.
