It left me with no words to describe how I felt…
Im at a loss for words.
Careful when you pass it, it could spell disaster!
Must have been hard to take back every word you’ve ever said.
Be prepared for the worst vowel movement ever.
And the next day when it came out, you had thesaurass.
I was pulling a buncha random words out my ass for days.
It gave me thesaurus throat I’ve ever had.
This joke is a pun that plays on the word “thesaurus,” which is a reference book that lists words grouped together according to similarity of meaning (containing synonyms and sometimes antonyms). The humor arises from the double meaning of “thesaurus.” In one sense, it’s the reference book, but when spoken, it sounds like “the sorest,” which would describe a very sore throat. The joke suggests that swallowing a dictionary (a book of words) could literally give someone a sore throat, but the punchline twists it to reference another type of word book, the thesaurus, while maintaining the sore throat theme.
