Thesaurasize

The act of looking up words within a thesaurus, either online or otherwise, and gently supplanting them with other, more well-meaning words.

Such as, kennel with cage.
"Yo, whatchu up to, mah nigga?"

"Allow me to assist you in your quest of a better word, sir. Let us, thesaurasize. Let us look up a better, politer term in place of the ghetto, negative 'nigga'."

"How about I assist you in rearranging your face?"

"Nigga, it is."

Thesaurusized

A) To use way too many words when just a few will do, thus, meekly, trying to project an image of experience and knowledge where such does not exists, or has been mis-integrated by the user, causing a belief it is quantity which rules, not the quality and directness of the prose or verbal discription, thus generating the stench of verbal or written diarrhea to permeate the area or writing.
