Aspie Euphemisms for NT Words

Post Reply New Topic

I propose we arrange for a little game based on word-play.

Does it ever bother you that the language used by NTs seems so flat and lacking in cerebral forethought? Do you find that you're phrases frequently pass right over the heads of your NT buddies (if you have any), thereby nullifying the intended meaning that underpins them?

Euphemisms are an art in themselves, and those who master them are truly linguistic artistes of the highest order. So, I want to see what kind of euphemisms we can create to act as substitutes for the one-dimensional terms often uttered by NTs. Have fun!

Oh, and anyone able to confound even his/her fellow aspies with their submitted euphemisms will be awarded totally imaginary bonus points because they don't exist. But kudos to you all the same if you can manage it!


I'll start us off with a fairly basic example:

NT Term: "Ugly" ----------->--------- Aspie Euphemism: "Aesthetically Challenged"

This list will get very long if started, we would end up re-writting the dictionary :p

semantics also*
