HELP ME PLZ TOMORROW IS MY EXAm!!!!!!!!?

Question

What is a euphemism and what is a jargon?. I always get mixed up and tomorrow is my exam. Plz help me!.

Answer 1

euphemism - on an airplane - barf bag is called an air sickness bag. Think of a euphemism as the nice way you say things to your parents versus the way you talk to your friends.

Jargon is using the words specific to the situation - a doctor may be thinking anti-coagulant (jargon) but uses the words blood-thinner (not jargon) so people will understand. Jargon is usually very technical and specific.

Answer 2

Euphemism, as in something not to be taken literally. The comedian whose joke bombed didn't really die on stage, that's just a euphemism. Jargon is vocabulary specific to a field or activity. Sailor may speak of the lee shore, or jib sail. This is speech that has meaning to other sailors, but may be incomprehensible to people outside that field. Most people use jargon professionally. Any episode of"ER" is filled with jargon. Hope this helps.

Answer 3

jargon is loosly defined as 'in' talk - something that an outsider doesn't understand. Like your grandma's reaction to rap. Or, for a better example, if you were to talk with a photographer and he started discussing f-stops, shutter speeds, and darkroom techniques like dodging and burning, it wouldn't make sense to you. That would be jargon. It's also defined as unintelligible speech. Same thing.
A euphemism is when you substitute one word for another, but the word you substitute is usually a gentler word. For example, if someone makes a pig of themselves at the table, a euphemism would be that he had a 'hearty appetite'.
does that help?

Answer 4

"euphemism" is an expression used in place of another expression that is disagreeable or offensive. For example referring to casulties of war as being "collateral damage", or saying that the plane had and "unplanned landing" when it crashed.....

jargon is laguage that is specific to a group....for example,
Examples of computer/lnternet jargon:
~BTW -By The Way
~CYA - See You Around
~FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions
~HTH - Hope This Helps
~IMHO - In My Humble Opinion
~MOTD - Message Of The Day

jargon terms from NASA : "countdown," "all systems go" and "lift off

Jargon can also be “technical talk.” for example, using
Bilateral probital hematoma (JARGON) for a black eye (slang)

Answer 5

Euphemism is a substitution of a mild, indirect of vague expression rather than one that is thought to be offensive or harsh.

For example, instead of saying ,"my dad died." You say, "my father passed away."

Jargon is language that is highly specific or uncommon or pretentious. Basically, it's words that are difficult to understand unless you are a part of that group.

For example, "organic intellectuals." That's a jargon phrase used by Sociologists to describe a group of people that are anti-hegemonic. It doesn't make sense to people who haven't studied Sociology.
