This article explores how political euphemisms serve as a powerful tool for shaping public perception in both English and Uzbek political discourse. It examines the strategies politicians use to frame contentious issues in a more favorable light and manage public opinion by replacing direct, confrontational language with softer alternatives. By comparing examples from both languages, this article highlights the cultural and political implications of euphemisms in obscuring controversial topics and managing emotional reactions.
