Portmanteau of
whore and thesaurus.
A
person who arbitrarily laces their writing with high-register
words, usually but not necessarily with the assistane of a thesaurus, in a way which is intended to impress the reader but does not actually add to the content or depth of the text.

"Does he think I'
m that
stupid? Replacing words with thesaurus entries is the oldest trick in the
book." - A thewhoraus's English teacher
