Hi,
As far as I read euphemism places against "taboo" and taboo is considered dirty or profane.
Is "pig and fuzz" for "police officer" a taboo or a derogatory?
And how can it be recognized whether sth is really a "taboo" or "derogatory"?
How about frightening or unpleasent subjects? Are they derogatory?
Thanks in advance.
