Don’t use thesaurus dot com anyway, they switched from a human generated thesaurus to an AI generated one about a year ago. You can really tell on words like “decaf” where the words used are associated with decaf (coffee words) but are actual antonyms.

I’m going to start using decaf for “hot stuff”, as in, “damn that new painting is Decaf! Baby!”

Well fuck. I used to rely on them so hard. Not anymore I guess.

Noooo I used to use them all the time for writing. Barf.

I went back to using my old paperback thesaurus I bought as a schoolboy (I'm 62 now) when learning songwriting because when you find your word, also all the stuff around it is inspiring/interesting/useful too.

Is decaf not a coffee word, like does it mean not coffee stuff too & first? Because that's the only way I've heard it used.
