thesaurusize

Taking a sentence from a (generally) published source and using a thesaurus to change the words so as to avoid plagiarism.

I used one of my earlier papers for this assignment, but thesaurusized it so no one would notice.

Urban Thesaurus

a book synonymous with making you sound cooler instead of just smarter.

Sven wanted to talk like the cool kids so all he wished & dreamed for was an Urban Thesaurus to aid him in replacing his square terminology with the right type of jargon. Sven would use an Urban Thesaurus to learn to say pimpin' instead of "swell" or WTF?! instead of "jeepers." Sadly, Sven died a virgin because an Urban Thesaurus doesn't F*ing exist.

Thesaurused

To use the thesaurus for every second word in order to make yourself sound smarter or to take up space and make an essay longer.

Teachers see past it very quickly if you are a dumbfuck and can't tell him what half the words in your essay mean, when questioned.

"I thesaurused this essay to death"

"I walked slowly down the street to school" becomes "I sauntered languorously down the boulevard to the establishment of education" (this is overly thesaurused)

Thesaurus Rape

When someone uses big words despite the fact that they:
-Cannot spell
-Sound unnatural saying them
-Don't know what the words mean
-Didn't need to use such complicated words to get their point across
-Are really dumb, and try to sound smart by saying them

Tom: I have just explicated your histrionics you boondoggling pantimime!
Jake: And you are also guilty of thesaurus rape....
