what's another word for 'thesaurus'?)
its a misprint. It originally read "The Saurus". Compared to a humble dictionary its huge since it contains the dictionary many times over. The name was intended as an insult based on the understand of dino-saurus (as they were termed then) at the time. As is so often the case, the proponents adopted the insulting label as a badge of honour to show they despised the insult. :-) -- Opposition To reduce someone's influence, first expand it; To reduce someone's force, first increase it; To overthrow someone, first exalt them; To take from someone, first give to them.
