Rhetorical Device

Rhetorical devices are common in everyday conversations. A rhetorical device is when someone tries to tell another person something, but not directly telling them the problem. An example of a rhetorical device is sarcasm. I use sarcasm everyday. Since I live with 38 other guys our trash cans seem to fill up fairly quickly. One day I was cooking in the kitchen, and I saw that the trash was pretty full. It was my friends turn to take out the trash, so I went to him and said, I cant find the trash can, theres just a bunch of trash on the floor. He got the point that the trash was overfilled, and that he needed to take it out. I also use Euphemism quite often. Euphemism is when someone replaces a negative word with a more positive word.  For example, when I was at a fancy dinner with my parents and their coworkers and I needed to use to restroom I also if I may be excused rather then saying I need to go to the bathroom.
