Abstract. In the article the author reveals the content of the notion "phraseological euphemism". Using the method of solid selection from the corpus of the modern dictionaries of euphemisms and the tabooed vocabulary of the English language, gender-marked units characterizing males are singled out and systematized, the core and periphery of the "man" concept are determined that can give the idea about man, his behaviour, attributes and role in the English-speaking society. Special attention is paid to the connotative and structural peculiarities of the phraseological euphemisms of the chosen subject matter.
