Student: I obtain the ability!

Prof: Okay Michelle, go ahead.

Student: I have high doubts in the cognitive processes of this theorist as he continually demostrates excavating premonitions about the ongoing insanities of the homo sapien population. His theory contradicts all predescendant foreknowledge.

Prof: Well now class, we seem to have a thesaurus bitch in our midst.

Thesaurusitis

When someone overuses a thesaurus in an essay or speech to make themselves sound smarter. However, by replacing small words with obscure words they don't really understand, it just makes them sound pretentious and stupid.

thesaurus rape

The use of "big" words in lieu of their "common" counterparts (often out of context) in a futile attempt to sound more intelligent. This technique is often used by liberal arts students when attempting to sound competent when talking about a subject that they have no clue about.
In a class room discussion about UrbanDictionary.com

Jill: Urban Dictionary's abominable nature not only proliferates the use of exiguous, diminutive, colloquial English, it actually bolsters and espouses it!

Jack: ya, and it gives us words like thesaurus rape to describe what you are doing!!
