I got a B+ for my efforts. It was really a fun paper to write I even used George Carlen as a source. &lt;br/&gt;It’s no everyday you see Carlen and Freud cited in the same report.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;What I found interesting was how words that are euphemisms become vulgar and then we need need euphemisms. &lt;br/&gt;Take the word ‘Arse’ for an example, this was considered to be vulgar and the euphemism ‘Ass’ was used instead. Today the roles have reversed, ‘Ass’ is seen as the vulgar and many people will use ‘Arse’ as a euphemism. &lt;br/&gt; &lt;br&gt;&lt;div border="2" style="margin-top: 10px; border:#000000 1px solid;" width="90%"&gt;&lt;div style="background-color:"&gt;&lt;div align="center" width="100%" style="padding:4px;margin-bottom:4px;background-color:#666666;overflow:hidden;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#FFFFFF;font-weight:bold;"&gt;Clip Source: &lt;a style="color:#FFFFFF;" href="http://www.walkingdead.net/perl/euphemism" title="http://www.walkingdead.net/perl/euphemism"&gt;www.walkingdead.net&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="padding: 10px;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:left;"&gt;The Euphemism Generator&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;hr size="2" color="#666666" /&gt;&lt;div style="padding: 10px;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:left;"&gt;Hit "&lt;A href="http://www.walkingdead.net/perl/euphemism" linkindex="0" set="yes"&gt;Reload&lt;/A&gt;" for ENDLESS FUN.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;hr size="2" color="#666666" /&gt;&lt;div style="padding: 10px;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:left;"&gt;
