euphemism

yoo͞′fə-mĭz″əm

noun

  1. A mild, indirect, or vague term for one that is considered harsh, blunt, or offensive.

  2. The use of such terms.

  3. In rhetoric, the use of a mild, delicate, or indirect word or expression in place of a plainer and more accurate one, which by reason of its meaning or its associations or suggestions might be offensive, unpleasant, or embarrassing.

Seems pretty damn accurate to me.
