In pursuing the principle of the Value-Added Lifetm, we'll take every advantage.
“In real life, unlike in Shakespeare,* the sweetness of the rose depends upon the name it bears. Things are not only what they are. They are, in very important respects, what they seem to be.” – Hubert H. Humphrey
Your assignment, should you choose to accept it, is to coin a name or description for something customary, ordinary, or familiar, which will enhance it.
It can be accurate but softening euphemism. The near-homicidal lunatic next door -- don't ask -- can become in our thoughts and family life "The Rather Curious Mr. X."
Or effusive praise of something neutral. Our slow-smiling postman drives a love letter wagon. Really.
Or changing the nature of a task. From now on, an experiment in "Book Extraction," (expediting someone's writing a book) will be "BookBlossom." Well, maybe not, but you get the idea.
We dare you. Adjust the lighting. Use words to make something glow. Let a discreet shadow fall. Interweave into something dull a deliberate enhancement with imagination . Turn what you thought was nothing, into happiness. Which was always there waiting.
Alchemist!
Since complaining is so dreary, the proposed strategy is also such good manners that it could propel some of us upward a social class or two. Talk about adding value...

Update: *and that didn't turn out
so well for Juliet or Romeo; as it happens, naivete about names didn't lead to much
felicity. Operating at the level of blood, bone, chemistry, and wishful
thinking can be fatally short of relevant information. It's a category
error.
I have send you a private message and an email regarding this.
