This is just a guess, but it sounds like you may be thinking of a euphemism. A euphemism is a "positive spin" on something that usually negative or neutral For example, a "sanitation worker" is another way to say "garbage man." Saying someone is a "permanent guest of the criminal justice system" is a nicer way to say that someone is in prison for life. An argument can be characterized as "a very lively discussion". A used car can be called a "previously owned vehicle." A child whose often disruptive and impulsive in a classroom can be called "a lively, energetic and spirited child".
