My Huge Dislike of Euphemisms . Content Warning.
Everyone's favorite, or rather, hated social media platform YouTube turned 20 this year. My 17-year-old self thought it was the best thing that was ever invented. Fast forward to 2025, I've come to the conclusion that it has gotten worse over time. Why? It's because these YouTubers are interested in coddling their audiences rather than providing us with honest, factual information. One thing that I dislike about YouTubers is them using euphemisms of words that are harmless for the most part. The late, great George Carlin discussed this on his 1990 comedy album, Parental Advisory. He explained that euphemisms hid the truth, which he had a huge dislike of. There are some terms that were highly offensive and the language needed to change, such as terms that describe people with disabilities. I can accept some language that is here to stay. In my opinion, YouTubers and regular people using euphemisms makes me want to throw up. We're literally babying a generation in order for them to get more views and subscribers/followers. Where feelings are more important than keeping it real to everyone. They're afraid if they used direct language in their videos, their videos would be demonetized, which I've always found both laughable and ridiculous. I've heard that lame excuse countless times. Basically, they have to walk on eggshells, so they don't "trigger" their audiences. I'll share a few examples of terms that many people have been using online that makes me cringe.

The Last Lightkeeper
The storm had arrived without warning. Winds howled like ancient spirits, slamming into the old lighthouse with relentless fury. Rain lashed against the windows, turning the world outside into a blurred mess of grey, white, and black. Somewhere out in the dark, the sea churned like a beast stirred from slumber.

Ironies That Define Our Time
Some truths can only be told through irony, because people today will tolerate humor long before they tolerate conviction. We live in an era where satire feels redundant because the world itself has become a parody of wisdom. Every contradiction, every absurdity, is defended as progress.

The Wrong Seminar
Marcus Lee had twenty-seven dollars in his checking account and a sticky note on his fridge that read, “Succeed or starve.” He wasn’t dramatic by nature. The sticky note was practical. Inspirational, even. He had written it after watching a free webinar called Unleash the Inner Giant Within You, hosted by Bryce Chandler, America’s favorite millionaire-turned-messianic-life-coach—a man who looked like a cross between an energy drink and a televangelist caught mid-exorcism.

She is cute with Sniffing Laugh
Love is blind, they say. But what they don’t tell you is that sometimes love has really good hearing. It was a Friday evening, and the city lights were glowing like a million fireflies. Inside a little car cruising down the boulevard, a young couple was enjoying what looked like the perfect date. She was stunning—hair glowing in the streetlight, eyes sparkling, smile as delicate as a painting. He, of course, was busy thinking: Wow. I really scored the jackpot.
