I use a Thesaurus for context, friend, for context. Something a dictionary alone is incapable of providing.


And you are a perverted man if the first thing you think when you hear the word "intimate" is having sex. Which in this case, you do not think it, you are merely trying to save face. And making a pathetic attempt, at that.

"Initimate" means sexual to most people...

And if you don't like that word, we can get a little more committed..make it a little less nasty.

We could be: affectionate, warm, thick, loving, snug.

It's just illustrative of the entire ability to skewer contetxual clues that the thesaurus provides.

Sure it does, even though you know you are making shit up and being a dickwipe just because you aren't getting your way.

Listen pal, don't get mad at me because Left-Wing = "liberal; communist, leftist, radical, socialist." Maybe you should get your Ph.D. and argue it with this LEXICOGRAPHER, repeat...LEXICOGRAPHER, someone who learns definitions for a living.

It appears, "most people" disagree with you once again.

And before you bitch about my Conservative reference, it basically says that the average person is IGNORANT, and equates IGNORANCE with MODERATE. Something you Socialists love to do, by saying the typical American church-going citizen is nothing but a mindless slave of the Capitalist system.

You are fucking off the hook!!! lmao.

A thesaurus cannot and does not: 1. provide a definition, 2. prove what the generally established societal definition of a word or concept is, 3. prove what the generally established definition of a word or concept is in academic or intellectual circles.

This is getting out of hand I think you need to return the thesaurus and tell whoever bought it for you nicely to never do it again...that you have an irrational addiction and delusional ideas about its importance, etc.

And before you bitch about my Conservative reference, it basically says that the average person is IGNORANT, and equates IGNORANCE with MODERATE.
The thesaurus equates nothing. I don't think you understand how these things are constructed tadou. An idea or concept is logged, and analogies or similarities are listed for a reference base.
My example shows that you can easily skew an idea or definition using the thesaurus...yet you are using it as a knowledge base.

Something you Socialists love to do, by saying the typical American church-going citizen is nothing but a mindless slave of the Capitalist system.

Tadou, believing that inanimate objects talk (in this case, that a thesaurus provides completely accurate definitions) and finding hidden meanings in books and reference materials are the beginning signs of schizophrenia. You may wish to seek help in the near future.

In a strictly party-based analogy, the extreme form of left-wing is Communism, Socialism, or Radicalism.

Just as, the extreme form of right wing, in a political party analogy = Facism, Authoritarianism, Totalitarianism.

Of course I don't. I am not doing what you are doing; seeking to apply your modernized version of left and right wing.

^^ Yes, only the Roget's thesaurus (one of the most universally respected reference sources, PERIOD....no matter how much you wish to denounce it), doesn't reference right-wong with those definitions......It DOES reference Left-Wing with Communism and Socialism.


You can keep bitching all you want, but like i said, you had no problems using a thesaurus when it was on your side. Once you found out it wasn't, you started wigging out like a crazy person, and denouncing its relevance.
