Everybody knows what the euphemism refers to.� The use of it shows a
deliberate attempt to avoid infringing on the trademark while expressing
an opinion.

This makes no sense and I'm afraid it really just sounds like an excuse
for using a childish name. Using a trademark to refer to the owner of
the trademark is not trademark infringement.

Let's be grown-ups about how we refer to our competitors.
