Euphemism: "The apple doesn't fall far from the tree"

"The apple doesn't fall far from the tree" is a fantastic example of an euphemism. What this means is that two things aren't so different from each other. Such as if I were to compare you to your father, and I wanted to say you weren't as different as you thought you were.
This euphemism dates back to 1893 and is commonly used to state continuity between family members. Personally for me, this euphemism doesn't come up as often as it used to, which maybe show us, that we are all falling farther and farther from the tree.
