![]() ![]() You could use that word in a conversation between two students English that describe their weekend on the school campus, but it would not be a word to use when the pizza delivery guy is seduced by a craving house wife. If you look up the word ‘fucking’ in a synonym list, you could find the word ‘cohabitate’.

But it thought me that you should be careful when you use synonyms. ![]() That became a hilarious and bombastic piece (which was exactly what I was after). I once wrote a text for a student paper, in which I replaced every word of my original text with a synonym from a dictionary. Fortunately, in this time and age of the internet, also excellent online thesauri where you can search for words that mean the same. A professional writer told me that he uses a synonym dictionary when he is looking for inspiration. Every writer should of course have an exceptional vocabulary, don’t you think?

When you have used a certain word a couple of times, try to find a synonym. ![]() Avoid repetitive use of the same wordsĪs a writer, of any kind of texts, you can make your writing more interesting with a diversified vocabulary. Nevertheless, you can make your texts more interesting in general by using synonyms. Before you know it, it becomes gross (dick, cunt), cliche (sausage, pussy), or medical (vagina, penis).
