euphemtastic

adj. Euphemistic to the umpteenth power—we’re talking hundreds of Courics here.

Real citation: “Euphemtastic! Read in a letter, from the director of the ASU School of Life Sciences: '...potentially hazardous substances in the wrong hands can seriously jeopardize the quality of life in our society.' Brilliant. Now, if you'll excuse me, potentially boring works of literature are about to seriously jeopardize the quality of life of my evening.

Made-up citation: “Here’s a euphemtastic expression: the freedom bag. I don’t look forward to a future of freedom-probing and freedom-washing—my ass and brain are sensitive.”
