caustic euphemism

A substitute word or phrase that, while constructed to be socially more acceptable, drastically subtracts from the legitimate intent and purpose of the original.

So, how do we go from 'shell-shock' to 'battle-fatigue', from 'old dude' to 'senior citizen', from 'rape victim' to 'unconsenting intimacy participant'? Because our culture thrives on caustic euphemism: The dumbed-down, homogenized, neutralized language of the mindless majority who want it that way...

Dated (Euphemism)

Verb

When used in blogging or chat, "Dated(euphemism)" is used to mock, criticize, or show dislike for a couple who are going out.

The euphemism in parenthesis is a way to give your opinion that there is/was no love in the relationship, but rather it is/was just based on sex and lust.

It is a very mean thing to write about another person, (but funny)

Can be used in present, past, or future tenses

A blog:

After John Doe broke up with Jane last week, he Dated (Euphemism) his new neighbor Jessica. Surprisingly, the relationship did not last.

reverse euphemism

A "reverse euphemism" is a euphemism that works in such a way as to poke fun at most euphemisms. For example, a euphemism for beating up freshmen is called a "hazing." A reverse euphemism for a place where freshmen were being beaten up would be a "genocide convention."

Bob: Oh, hey, school just let out and it's YMCA night, so I've gotta go take a shit.

Joe: What?

Bob: I mean I actually have to drop the kids off at the pool. Haven't you heard a reverse euphemism before?

Fanfiction Euphemism

Any word that means dick.

Length, member, are innocent words. Call it a wang if you want but a dick is a dick. Say dick. No fanfiction euphemisms.
