By the way, you consulted a thesaurus, not a dictionary...but don't let the "English as a second language" kid correct you on the use of OUR language.

Here's the reference in question.

Note, please, the heading, which for ease of reading I will reproduce below:

Find It! First, Fast and Free!
English Dictionary - With Multi-Lingual Search

Note also the presence of a definition and the absence of synonyms.

Now this leads us to a question: should you keep posting in the hope of eventually getting something right, or should you just stop digging? (Yes, I am aware that you probably aren't holding a shovel right not. It's those idioms again.)

but don't let the "English as a second language" kid correct you on the use of OUR language.

I wasn't planning on it, but thanks for the admonition.

You may recall that I corrected your misapprehension of Keyes' usage.
