thesaurus abuser

One who attempts to sound intelligent by using a computer thesaurus for more intelligent sounding words.
Ends up sounding ridiculous either by using words completely out of context or by misspelling them.

Rudy stopped being a thesaurus abuser when his computer died.

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.

But, especially within hours of a tragedy unfolding, journalists and pundits should not manufacture a blood libel that serves only to incite the very hatred and violence they purport to condemn.

Blood libel? Purport? Looks like Sarah Palin suffers from thesaurusitis.

Theasaurus

Theasaurus was not a true dinosaur. It lived long after most dinosaurs and fed on the spare time of the verbose. But mostly, it had trouble spelling and pronouncing the word "thesaurus".

A Theasaurus can still help you find a synonym for "dapper" if you ask it nicely.

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!!
