About this listen
- 00:00 😡 Americans use euphemisms in their language to avoid facing the truth and it is getting worse with each generation.
- 00:28 😮 In the first world war, the condition of a stressed nervous system in a fighting person was called "shell shock," while in the second world war, it was referred to as "battle fatigue."
- 01:17 😂 Operational exhaustion is a euphemism for combat conditions during the war in Korea that has been stripped of all humanity and now sounds like a car problem.
- 01:40 💡 The war in Vietnam was referred to as post-traumatic stress disorder instead of shell shock, which may have hindered the necessary attention for veterans, and the use of euphemisms like "bathroom tissue" instead of toilet paper has become increasingly prevalent.
