Yes, you're right Petr. I realised the mistake as soon as I pressed send, and 
knew someone would pick up on it. You get a bag of imaginary jelly beans for 
the being the one.

I'm not after euphemisms, as much as useful phrases that occur often enough 
that students should be aware of them as stock phrases. In other words, the 
phrase means a little more than the sum of its parts.

Hm, isn't it rather "שָׁמַע בְּקוֹל XY"?

(To Your, question, I know of no such a list. If You were interested in 
euphemisms only, there is a book in German by Stefan Schorch)
