wax poetic

(verb)
1. to make a phrase or text longer by making it more poetic (hence the name) and verbose.
2. to mention something in a roundabout way, so the real word doesn't have to be said (this could happen for a variety of reasons e.g. socially unacceptable language).
(Example 1.) "I'm not a fan of this kinda food." if you wax poetic, it becomes "I do dislike this taste of cuisine, indeed."

(Example 2.) "Wanna fuck?" becomes "Would you like to come over to my place and hang?"

Poetry

She is one of the most independent and quiet people you’ll ever meet. She’s shy and keeps her thoughts to herself at first but once you get to know her she’s amazing, bright, and very loyal when she wants something she gets it, but most of the time she over thinks things and she usually hesitates in the moment, She smart, talented, when she tells you something she really means it she’s kind hearted and selfless, very very dramatic. But don’t let her shyness and kind heart Fool you she can be very bitchy at times, when she gets mad it takes her some time to get over the situation.
Guy 1: Damn why is Poetry so shy?
Guy 2: You have to get to know her, and once you do she’s the best person ever

Guy 2: whoever dates her they’re so lucky
