Yelena Surganova | 3 comments Hi everybody!
I am currently working on my thesis which is about author euphemisms (the euphemisms that were created for a special occasion by one person). I need to get as much examples of such euphemisms as possible. Please, if you can think of any books, songs, films, poems etc. that have author euphemisms please write to me.

Example:
"...he has seen the adversary, and learned one of its names". Cold Days by Jim Butcher
The adversary here is an author euphemism
