use of a mild, delicate, or indirect word or expression in place of a plainer and more accurate one
Example and work is specifically excluded.
One owns a 442/642 (snub) and a Glock 19 - they shoot the 19 better.
They carry the 19 sometimes, but not always, usually when they perceive higher risk.
They could carry the 19 everywhere but are unwilling to.
Rather than just say, "I'm not willing to carry a Glock 19 everywhere" (which is accurate).
Euphemisms that some post instead:
good area
threat assessment
anticipated threat
risk assessment
meets my needs
