Default Euphemisim

Just like "wilderness" is a euphemism (back east) for land that has some
natural features such as streams, trees, hillsides and doubles as rental
property with houses, roads, cars and the like.

Out here in the west, wilderness means NEVER having a road, a building,
timber cutting or the like. Out here people don't live in the "wilderness"
areas

Does your "wilderness" include any "country estates"?

Another fun chuckle is the back east use of "high altitude" land. Out here
"high altitude"land is beyond the flight ceiling of some recreational
aircraft and O2 is required for pilots. Yet people run, ski, climb and bike
at these western high altitudes. Easterners, such as pale Rusty (anemia
prevents the full blossom of rust) would suffer collapse and endema at these
western altitudes.

Amen!

"Country Estate" is an oft used name for trailer parks. Go search
"Country Estates Trailer Park" and you'll quickly find that it's a
very common name for them. People with a gentleman's farm would never
refer to it as their "Country Estate", as they know that would make
people think they lived in a trailer park.

"Early Retirement" - Often a company will offer a bribe of some sort
to get rid of deadwood or problem employees before they are normally
scheduled for retirement. They find it worth the extra expense to
jettison those who are holding the rest of the company back, or who
create friction among the general staff.

HTH!
