A thesaurus author passed away. At his funeral, the minister began: 'We are gathered, assembled, congregated, convened, and mustered here today to mourn, grieve, lament, bewail, and bemoan the loss, departure, passing, demise, and expiration of our dear, beloved, cherished, treasured friend.' Three hours later, he was still on the first paragraph. The deceased would have been proud, pleased, gratified, delighted, and satisfied.
A writer who overuses the thesaurus gives a wedding toast: 'To the bride and groom—or should I say, the matrimonially-bound duo, the conjugally-linked pair, the nuptially-fused couple. May your love be eternal, everlasting, perpetual, undying, and also very long. I wish you happiness, joy, elation, jubilation, and whatever synonym comes after that. Cheers, salutations, felicitations!'
