It’s not about a thesaurus or about being offended... It has everything to do with agenda, and trying to push their viewpoint on every aspect of society.

When I go to the thesaurus, it’s because I’m writing something (or doing a crossword puzzle) and want to see as much variety as possible. I do NOT want my thesaurus to be niggardly in choosing their synonyms.

Does this person not know the difference between a thesaurus and a dictionary?

“Somebody should explain to her what a thesaurus is.”

I would like to explain it in a simple way, but unfortunately I could not find a synonym for thesaurus

Don’t try.

She’ll probably think it’s an endangered species being hunted to extinction by those evil conservative hunters.

My favorite:

“Tramp!” Carl Reiner. The Thrill of It All (1963).

Once we replace filthy sexist English with good clean NewSpeak, all these kinds of problems will vanish.

From the musical "South Pacific:"

"Where she's narrow she's as narrow as an arrow, and she's broad where a broad should be broad."

When I first saw the word “Thesaurus”, I thought it was a dinosaur.
