the new "euphemism"

[W Brewer]

So, give us a technical term for the process. **auto-antonymization??
Step 1: <naughty word> --> <euphemism 'nice replacement word'>
Step 2: <naughty word> = <other naughty word(s)>
I.e. the word <euphemism> has become an *auto-antonym*. <euphemism> can
mean either 'nice replacement word' for 'naughty word' or 'alternative
naughty word' for 'naughty word'.
