Not in any way intending to usurp IG’s most excellent answer, may I add the related/extended euphemism “go to the bathroom”? This one has always chafed me (the euphemism, not the euphemistic activity denoted therewith. (That is only occasionally.)).

-People actually believed there was a nation (world?) wide Satanic cult doing unspeakable things
-People went to prison based on this belief
-Supposedly day care workers were part of it, doing things to children in their care
-Was supposed to be one highly organized, mass movement
-The FBI investigated and found NO evidence that such a thing existed
-Some people still believe it does exist, and either the FBI is part of it, or they cover themselves up very well.
