A Nicer Way of Saying
In my upbringing it was emphasized to say things nicely, and so was born my compulsion to be precise with language. You don't say "binge," you say "repeatedly indulge." You don't say "purge," well, actually you do say "purge," although you might follow it with "food demons." Huh. Society got that one right, er, wrong?
Here is today's puzzle:
__________ is a nicer way of saying ____________.
This is my solution, unrelated to bulimia, I mean, that's a serious issue for some people:
"Everything" is a nicer way of saying "Nothing."
As in, "No, I disagree. You've got everything to live for."
It all depends on your life philosophy I guess.
