www.shesaurus.com

Providing Colorful Words for a Colorful World

Keshia Kola and the Shesaurus team really have a way with words – and they’re not holding anything back.

Shesaurus.com: Dictionary-thesaurus is a reference center that dares to go where no other reference guide has gone before. We take those naughty, unwanted orphaned words and provide a loving home.

We are not etymologists. Etymology is the study of the history of words, their origins, and how their form and meaning have changed over time. Our language has been bastardized so much, it’s hard to keep up, so we don’t bother! You can consider us, lexicographers who major in Neologism; a name for newly coined terms, words, or phrases that may be in the process of entering common use, but has not yet been accepted into our mainstream language. Our business is collecting and cataloging terms related specifically to men and women.

Please support Keishia and the Shesaurus.com team by sharing this with your networks join their communities on FaceBook and Twitter.

Here WE Grow!
