Another word for Euphemism is the use of a polite word
Thinking
- Another word for Euphemism is the use of a polite word or phrase instead of using one that can be considered offensive. For example, using pass away instead of the name “died.”
- Dylan uses folkloric to justify the use of other artists’ quotes without attribution. For instance, “Dylan blasts his critics in no uncertain terms, describing his borrowing as a traditional aspect of songwriting” Therefore, Dylan does not see anything wrong in copying other people’s work since “Wussies and pussies complain about that stuff.”
- The term “hypocrisy” is not too strong. Dylan engaged in a punishable offense, yet he doesn’t remorse about his mistakes. What Dylan did is wrong and equivalent to dishonesty. Although we indeed borrow ideas from other writers, the least one can do is to give them credit by citing.
