'''Lashon Nekiah - Clean Language''' is speech using alternative terminology for concepts that the speaker does not wish to mention directly. The source of the term "clean language" is in the Babylonian Talmud. In Tractate Pesachim (page 3, side a) a Braita is brought: "It was taught in the school of Rabbi Yishmael: A person should always speak in clean language."
