Euphemistically speaking, Hank way off base
Hank Steinbrenner is saying he used a ``bad choice of euphemism'' as he distanced himself from Monday's mansions comment that seemed directed at Derek Jeter.
A euphemism is a substitution for an expression that may suggest something unpleasant. Best example is the hit song ``Forget You.''
Steinbrenner could have said Jeter seemed ``preoccupied with high end residential housing for the season in question,'' and it would not have sounded so harsh.
