See vonn S120 asked if it was a euphemism cos it meant something sexual!! I WIN!!

Actually lol just looked it up, we're both right. "A euphemism is a generally harmless word, name, or phrase that replaces an offensive or suggestive one."
I'm confused, can you qualify it further for me. Is the statement "I'd like to play with Nathan Brown's ball" (yes singular, not a typo) an euphemism or not?

This is just confusing now. E is a vowel. An > A.
When you have Eu together you do not use an. For instance you would say, 'A European team, England, have only won one World Cup.' When you have an E not followed by a U you use an. For instance you would say, 'An English team, Arsenal, have not won a trophy in 7 years.'
