Evolution of Euphemisms

Prediction is not always hard. An inert object falling straight toward the ground will hit the ground. When an outage, or breakdown, or accident is renamed an incident and then an event, in its next renaming it will become a celebration. When a problem turns into an issue and then into a situation, before long it will be nirvana.
