Word help

[pez]

Has anyone got a big theasaurus (printed, not online)? American or British, it doesn't matter.

I er, want to know if the word "fuck" is an entry in a theasaurus. *cough* It's for a fic.

Any help is much appreciated. ♥

Yeah, that's what I saw online. But I wonder about other sources.

Roget's Thesaurus of English words and phrases from 1987 says:

fuck (vulg)
unite with
coition

other than that as was explained in the book, hmm... coition, coitus,copulation,bonking... etc etc *laugh*

Bah. I was too late and also too lazy to check what the entry said. I have access to a few others tomorrow, if you don't need to know this very moment.

Thanks XD It's not really important, so no worries.

The Concise Oxford Dictionary, ninth ed. (1996) lists "fuck". The Concise Oxford Thesaurus (also 1996) does not, not even as a synonym for "intercourse". ^^
