While teaching a nutrition unit in one of my health classes, I was telling my students about the different types of meats by using euphemisms. Poultry>Chicken. Beef>Cow. Veal>Calf. Bison>Buffalo, etc.
Some of my students had never heard of these synonyms, but seemed eager to learn.

One of my students raised his hand to tell me that he'd had bison for dinner the night before. When I asked him how he liked it, he asked me, "Haven't YOU ever had buffalo wings?" Thus, began another teachable moment!
