Euphemisms for Made-up Stuff
Here are some words that mean “made-up stuff.”
- assumption
- presupposition
- supposition
- axiom
- hypothesis
- theory
Now, don’t those euphemistic words sound much better than saying “made-up stuff?” They sound better, but all of them mean the same thing as made-up stuff. Making matters worse, many teachers say “presuppositions,” “axioms,” and “theories” are necessary. They say students can use any of these as a rational basis for thinking.
