By Maggie BalistreriWhat if you fired your shrink and hired a copy editor?
"An excellent thinking tool for speakers and listeners: how not to say it and why." Daniel Dennett
This "cultural criticism in the form of a dictionary" of euphemisms translates the, like, banalities of contemporary speech.
Taxonomies of "like," "whatever," "actually," "so," and "sorry" as well as suggested replacements for evasions such as "the relationship" and "I'm sorry if."
