Original: Doublespeak may be in the form of bald euphemisms such as "downsizing" or "rightsizing" for "firing of many employees"; or deliberately ambiguous phrases such as "wet work" for "assassination" and "take out" for "destroy".
Simplified: A well known example for many is the replacement of Lord Voldemorts name by "You-Know-Who" or "He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named" in Harry Potter.
