A walking thesaurus is a person with good vocabulary who knows many definitions of words. A thesaurus is a book that lists words in groups of synonyms and related concepts which is usually called a dictionary, hence the word walking refers to the human being.

Person 2: Just because you did English home language, that doesn't mean you're a walking thesaurus.

We all know you read the thesaurus

Share definition Flag
A phrase used to describe someone who uses fancy and/or excessive speech. In the context of Limbus Company, the phrase was used in a scene where a character explains as if they read the thesaurus, causing one of the main characters to call them out.
Person A: I was struck with sorrow upon the sight of their entrails. In fact, I had gained an epiphany: why must the innocent bear death and mutilation for a root impertinent to them? Had the madmen been any wiser, the townsfolk would have not suffered this tragedy, and would live on to an untroubled life.

Person B: Yeah, we all know you read the thesaurus. So anyways, you saw those poor innocents’ corpses and you want us to take revenge? Y’know we’re not some heroes fighting for justice.
