Blog-o-Rama issues euphemism challenge for 2012

  • The Blogster was driving to the Capitol a little earlier than usual this morning and wasn’t exactly enjoying the rush-hour spectacle of cars wavering and weaving at speeds in excess of the 65-mph limit on I-91. He was reminded of the recent report from the National Transportation Safety Board recommending that all kinds of cell phone and computers – even hands-free – be banned by the use of drivers, following a Virginia Tech Transportation Institute study found that drivers are 163 times more likely to crash while texting. Anyway, the NTSB’s hilarious euphemisn for a collision is “safety-critical event.” That’s the standard for which readers are invited to share other euphemisms in these early days of 2012.
