As WIY said, it is a lashon nikiya. A nicer, more refined way of saying it.
Perhaps the fact that you are using “Lashon HaKodesh” – The Holy Language – makes it better.
The Torah which has no extra words added “extra words” to refer to a non-Kosher animal as “not tahor” rather than “tamei”.
The words we say affect us more than we realize and it couldn’t hurt to say things in a nicer way.
On a lighter note, in honor of Purim, there might be an inyan to not saying the name of The Dark Lord ^_^
