Get the kill it with fire mug.A word people use because they like deceiving themselves to believe we live in a Utopia.
Mostly they're used by organizations and "considerate" people who don't want to offend the "situationally disturbed" citizens.
George Carlin, a comedian, did a great schpiel about euphemisms once. (A few of the following examples are in his speech.)
You should read it. It may not "open your eyes," but you'll realize how much we like to disguise our speech and blind ourselves. Disguising a condition with nicer, longer words doesn't change the fact that you still have the condition. Sorry.
(Note: Not all examples {e.g. black/white} are "conditions" or negative at all}

IMO, There's nothing wrong with most of the following conditions; they just warrant a euphemism because society can't accept reality. Many are unavoidable.
I just call 'em like I see em.
Nobody:
is old, they're elderly senior citizens.
is gay, they're homosexual.
is poor, they're in poverty.
is black, they're African American.
is white, they're Caucasian.
is fat, they're obese.
is a slut, they're promiscuous.
is crippled, they're handicapped.
is deaf, they're hearing impaired.
is blind, they're visually impaired.
is retarded, they're mentally challenged.
is short, they're vertically challenged.
is stupid, they're academically challenged.
I could go on.

Get the euphemism mug.The messenger of bad news.
Worth noting: Please do not shoot the messenger.
Rarely is s/he actually involved in the decision of whatever is bad news for you.
Usually, they don't even know what they're delivering.

Get the bad news bear mug.id is a software company too, pronounced like the last part of "did" NOT like I'd or I-D (as in identification).
They're best known for Quake (multiplayer) and Doom (singleplayer) game series'. They make other games too though, like Wolfenstein.

Yes, the later Doom series' have multiplayer (only holds four max though...) and Quake has singleplayer.
But like Call of Duty and Battlefield, nobody buys them for the weaker aspect. (Multiplayer, singleplayer, respectively)
