#euphenism

Series: Put it in the lexicon

Euphenism: Adjective qualifying Trump’s promises in his electoral campaign. This word is closely related --but not equal-- to “euphemism”, which is defined by Wikipedia as follows:

“ A euphemism /ˈjufəˌmɪzəm/ is a generally innocuous word or expression used in place of one that may be found offensive or suggest something unpleasant.[1] Some euphemisms are intended to amuse; while others use bland, inoffensive terms for things the user wishes to downplay. Euphemisms are used to refer to taboo topics (such as disability, sex, excretion, and death) in a polite way, or to mask profanity.[2] “ (Source)

One of the earliest references dates back from a speech of Trump in the year 2016:

“And I’m saying to myself, man -- and then they played my statement. And I said ‘Carrier will never leave,’ but that was a euphenism. I was talking about Carrier like all other companies from here on in...I didn’t mean it quite that way.” (Trump)

        planet peach

with the two moons that orbit the joy

planet peach like the setting sun

seems to be so close on the horizon

it seems ready for appetite

i should have given you credit

for the image of the peach

       i must

you know there is desire that seems unexplainable

but we prefer to leave it that way

so there is more magic than science

which is part of the pleasure

and i must enjoy even the smallist pockets of delights about you

to roll over belly up to be scratch

comfort of the castle

a jester dressed like a tour de france peloton

climbing the ivy of your sweetness

making your moat spin backwards

like a south american samba dancer

rocking your carriage so the velvet seats squirm with whimpering satisfaction

you recline a loving pose

meant for the artist and

devoured by the artistry
