Vort Posted February 20, 2023 Report Share Posted February 20, 2023 I bought The Worst Thesaurus Ever yesterday. It's terrible. It's also terrible. So I bought another one, but all the pages were blank. I have no words to describe my anger. So I bought a dictionary to help me out, but someone ripped out pages at the front and back. It went from bad to worse. pam, Carborendum, MrShorty and 6 others 1 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vort Posted February 20, 2023 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2023 I went to a friend's funeral last week. A man asked my friend's French widow if he could say a word, and she gave the okay. So he stood up and said, "Plethora." The widow said, "Thank you. That means a lot." Another man also asked to say a word. He stood and said, "Bargain." My friend's widow said, "Thank you. That means a great deal." A third man also asked to say a word. He stood and said, "Monde." She replied, "Thank you so much. That means the world to me."

Jamie123 Posted February 21, 2023 Report Share Posted February 21, 2023 The Dictionary is a wonderful book. I admit it doesn't have much of a plot, but all the words are explained as you go along.

Carborendum Posted February 23, 2023 Report Share Posted February 23, 2023 I bought an audio version of the dictionary. It's high definition. Only one word is spelled "incorrectly" in the dictionary. My neighbor the librarian attacked me with a dictionary. The judge didn't know whether to charge him with verbal or physical assault. I once had a military dictionary with a camouflage cover. I can't find the words. My family never bought me a dictionary for my birthday. I have no words to express my disappointment. The most offensive page in the dictionary is disgraceful, disgusting, dishonest, and disingenuous. I decided to read the dictionary. By the time I got to "case," I was past caring.

Carborendum Posted February 23, 2023 Report Share Posted February 23, 2023 The first rule of thesaurus club is: You do not talk, speak, communicate, orate, or converse about the thesaurus club. I used to be poor until I discovered a thesaurus. Now I'm penurious. Vort and askandanswer 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this another thing they have upside-down in the down-undah? pam and Vort 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
