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
