In French, the euphemism for a cleaner/janitor is “technicien de surface”, which literally translates to “surface technician”, a hilariously fancy term. If I didn't know what it referred to, I would think it would point to a job in engineering or something similar.
I wonder if you can do the same with other jobs. "Sex worker" is already a euphemism, but can you make it even fancier? Something like "Coital assistant" or "Carnal relief provider"? What about someone who moderates internet forums? You see sir, I am not a "reddit mod", I am more of an Internet discourse mediator.
