Last August, a friend emailed a version of the old joke about a truckload of thesauri spilling all over the street, and the “varied” reactions of witnesses. I replied:
“I laugh, chuckle, chortle, guffaw, snicker, cackle, titter, snort, cachinnate (now that’s an odd one), ROFLMAO, am in stitches, split my sides….”
His tendency to do such a detailed analysis of the local animal life — instead of just running away — will shortly see him eliminated from the gene pool.

My wife accused me of stealing her thesaurus. I was shocked, stunned, surprised, astonished, horrified, appalled and dumbstruck.

Good thing it’s extinct, disappeared, departed, bygone, wiped out, terminated…
