Every language contains expressions that would be improper, tactless, rude, or even disgraceful to use in certain situations, and every culture similarly censures certain forms of behavior. When one wants to express something so censured in language, one uses a form of dissimulation known as a euphemism. When one wants to act in a way not permitted by one’s society one uses a different form of dissimulation, affecting the semblance of propriety while doing something inappropriate.
