Soft Words

We watched a clip of George Carlin talking about soft words. We've been so immersed in these soft words that they have become the standard today. We live in a very PC society and very few people can actually say what they want to say without offending others or bringing up bad emotions. A lot of these soft words come from the government or corporations that don't want people to know what things really mean because they don't want to look bad themselves.  One of his example was of people that are traumatized coming back from war.  It started off as shell shock, but after several name changes it's now known as post traumatic stress disorder. There are countless examples of soft words being used in today's society.
