What’s another word for thesaurus? A thesaurus is a little know dinosaur that is very similar to a Stegosaurus, but much smaller, with a bony ball at the end of its tail instead of spikes. These creatures generally ate roots and nuts, and was covered from head to tail in short roundish feathers.
Did you use a thesaurus for that? No.
