Euphemisms & Counter-Euphemisms

There defense mechanism which tries to protect good image of oneself or one’s favorite.

Almost automatically the adjectives or abstract nouns selected while describing the favorite become euphemisms (words on the good side). We tend to take opposite stance when we describe adversary or anyone outside our favorites. The adjectives or abstract nouns so selected can be termed as counter-euphemisms (words on the bad side).
