NASA recently repurposed a satellite called WISE that had completed its mission with all instruments intact and quite a bit of fuel.

Putting a good spin on things, verbally, can be a habit, a necessary business skill, or a vocation unto itself.

Euphemism is used across cultures and sit stanley cup uations, but at its heart it about getting away with something. Whether you want to get away with ever-so-gently implying that a certain someone is a drunk, or maintaining a little personal dignity, or orchestrating some really nasty business, you ;re employing sleight of hand. Perhaps the most famous euphemism rant, stateside, came from George Carlin when he talked about the slow progress of military and medical lingo from 8216 hell shock, ; through, battle fatigue ; and operational exhaustion, ; to the sterile and clinical post traumatic stress disorder, ; with each stage making the words less visceral and more abstract, lessening the chance of people urgently demanding help for soldiers.
