According to Joe Queenan, the Obama administration has replaced the term "war on terror" with the euphemism "overseas contingency operations," while individual acts of terror are to be called "man-caused disasters."
Queenan suggest other useful changes:
"cephalic attrition" in place of "beheadings"
"unconditional demographic redeployment" for "ethnic cleansing"
"maximum-intensity racial profiling" for "genocide"
"intra-horizontal aqua-aeonic degradation simulations" for "offshore nuclear tests"
"terminus-inducing claques," "free-lance resolution facilitators," and "off-site impasse adjustors" - all in place of "death squads"
And the bad guys will be referred to as "the ostensibly malefic".
