	Comments:	I think that usage has become so ubiquitous that it probably isn't considered particularly euphemistic any more.

	Refs:	ルミナス, 中辞典 (both have 3 senses)
	Comments:	This entry is as it was when it first appeared in the update logs in 2009 (its content is older). I'm inclined to leave the senses alone, but make the PoS match. The JEs all lead with noun glosses. I don't really see a case for adding "vs".

	Refs:	[vs] in gg5 and daij
	Comments:	I don't really mind either way (n or adj-na first). Another issue with this entry though is whether it makes sense to have it split into 3 senses (no pun intended). gg5 and daij only have 1 sense. Prog has 2 (putting discomfort/want in the same sense, and disability in the other).
