literary-deviceliterary-techniques

Is it possible for something to be both a 'euphemism' and a 'colloquialism'? If so, what would be some examples of this?

Best Answer

Well, a lot of slang words (which are colloquial by definition), are also euphemisms. For example: 'screwed up' and 'getting laid'.

By the way, it's 'colloquial', not 'colloquail'.
