Answer:

Idiom

Step-by-step explanation:

As nouns the difference between idiom and euphemism is that idiom is a manner of speaking, a way of expressing oneself while euphemism is (uncountable) the use of a word or phrase to replace another with one that is considered less offensive, blunt or vulgar than the word or phrase it replaces.

Example:

Instead of using

You're just a *****

you would use

You're just a scaredy-cat.

That would be a euphemism
