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)
Since then, the term euphenism has been established first for untruth promises Trump used in his campaign and admiting later that they were untruth statements. After that the term were expanded to further politicians, to become at the end a grammaticalised particle at the begin of almost all political speeches.
Italians don’t “bite the hand that feeds them”… they “spit in the plate they eat from” (Sputare nel piatto dove si mangia).
