The key is that the words themselves are not inherently a euphemism. It's their use in place of something else that you don't want to say that makes them euphemistic. A euphemistic expression can have a perfectly normal, literal, unquestionable meaning. It becomes a euphemism when you are using it as a "nicer" way of saying something.
