euphonium

n. a large 3- or 4-valved brass instrument resembling a small tuba; it is similar to the baritone horn but, while the baritone has a cylindrical (straight) bore, the euphonium has a conical (grows larger as it progresses towards the bell) bore, warming up the sound

The euphonium has a dark, rich sound--except when too much garbage has been dropped down the bell.

Euphemist

A person who is mature enough to speak inoffensively even when abused. He is capable of telling harsh truths and abuse back without actually using offensive words.

A Euphemist is the coolest guy there is amongst adversities.

A Euphemist, when consistent, goes a long way in life & succeed in commanding people and being popular.

Also, a Euphemist is subtle in his ways & everyone cannot understand him.

"I just tried abusing a euphemist. The guy talks so much sense that I had to apologize to him"

"Damn that euphemist. Its impossible to win over him."

euphemism

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.

Euphonium

The single most important instrument in the low brass section of a band. The players are often anal about the performance of other band members epically trumpets, and they are often the best players in the band.

Band Director: Thank you Euphonium's for an exceptional performance.
Euphonium player: It would have been better but the trumpets egos got in the way!

Euphonium

A low brass instrument also referred to as a baritone. Comes from the word euphonic, meaning good sound. The single most awesome instrument in the world, if not simply for the name. Most people don't know what it is and ask in their peasantish ignorance. These people should be smacked.

What the hell is that man?
It's a Euphonium biatch! SMACK
OW!
