Certain topics in our society aren’t considered proper to talk about. To make it easier to talk about such sensitive subjects, we have invented terms that dance around the issues, instead of facing them directly. Join me and guests, Steven Pinker [https://stevenpinker.com/], Phyllis Sommer [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UUqr4P7P3gM] and Kate Burridge [http://profiles.arts.monash.edu.au/kate-burridge/] as we dig into euphemisms.

In this week's minicast, Matt reflects on a death that is close to him and how we use or don't use words about "dead". We talk a little with Rabbi Physllis Sommer to help explain. See acast.com/privacy [https://acast.com/privacy] for privacy and opt-out information.
