Euphemism refers to a polite expression that is used in place of words that are otherwise considered harsh or unpleasant. The following statements are euphemism;
1. My car is not used, it is pre-owned.
2. My uncle has spent sometimes at a correctional facility.
An idiom is a group of words which have been established by usage as having a meaning which is not deducible from those of the individual words.
The following statements are idioms:
1.I have been study for ten hours straight, I think I will call it a day.
2. My grandmother gave up the ghost last night. The funeral is on Saturday.
3. I thought the SAT would be hard, but it was really a piece of cake.

more likely to elicit laughs and rude remarks rather than screams and rooting interest.

variety

while it's not a terribly original entry in the "creepy doll" horror subgenre, this fright flick nonetheless offers interesting characters, a strong cast, expert pacing, and a spooky atmosphere.
