Where a revered or frightful thing must be discussed, but is referred to by euphemisms to avoid invoking its presence or angering its spirit--such as the many euphemisms for "bear" in Northern Europe, or the euphemistic names known for certain Greek pantheon entities (e.g. "the kindly ones" for spirits of vengeance). -- Pitke ( talk) 23:10, 9 September 2020 (UTC)
On the topic of mitigating the social effects of mass atrocities: would including examples of Unit 731's reference to test subjects as "logs" be appropriate to add? 32.141.210.114 ( talk) 21:50, 11 September 2023 (UTC)
The caption implies that "feminine Hygiene" is douches and "feminine protection" is menstrual products. When I go to our page on Feminine hygiene the article is mostly about menstrual products but includes cleansing products. Is it possible the store is using the two terms interchangeably or to reach a wider audience? Is this a wording/clarity issue or should is tart looking for sources about those terms explicitly.
