Best euphemisms you've ever heard?
Reading the "Racist orders coffee in Glasgow" thread in General Discussion got me thinking of some of the more amusing or bewildering euphemisms I've heard or seen - some perpetrated in the name of political correctness, others maybe in a desperate attempt to save face in an embarrassing situation and others for who knows what reason.
Unfortunately, with my brain asking to be shut down for the night, I can only think of one right now:
"Negative patient care outcome" - from hospital staff, meaning the patient died.
What are the best attempts you've seen to torture the English language in this way?
