Theasaurus Rex
The thesaurus: more people should procure one. If you don't, Theasaurus Rex will unearth you.
I get tired of using the same words over and over again. Don't you? There are many different ways we can call someone an idiot, but we tend to overlook them.
idiot
noun informal
that idiot was driving way too fast FOOL, ass, halfwit, dunce, dolt, ignoramus, cretin, moron, imbecile, simpleton.
...and that's not even including the "more informal" synonyms.
As my Dad says, "Variety is the spice of life." I completely agree, Dad. Diversity should be applied to more than just the words in your life though. Try also applying it to the people you hang out with, meet, and date. Talking to strangers is a recreation in and of itself. How do you think I met all you people?
Theasaurus Rex is symbolic for the heterogeneity in my writing. He's constantly reminding me that there's always another way to say something. Words are a powerful tool. We tend to forget this fact because we usually can't see words, even though we use them everyday.
I recently redrafted an essay for a job application and found myself constantly consulting Theasaurus Rex. It gave my paper a comprehensive face lift. I hope it distinguishes me from the other candidates and gets me the métier.
