What's another word for Thesaurus? - Steven Wright


What is another word for "fresh"?

I actually looked it up. I found three synonyms for fresh (brand-new, pristine, virgin) but they don't come close to doing it justice.

I found a list of related Words (unaltered, unblemished, unbruised, uncontaminated, undamaged, undefiled, unharmed, unhurt, unimpaired, uninjured, unpolluted, unsoiled, unspoiled, unsullied, untainted, untouched, unused, unworn) but they just say what it is not.

Anyway, that is not the real point of this. Fresh is one of those words that I adore. For me (and don't ask me why) the spelling seems wrong. Almost dirty. In fact close to obscene.

Fresh.

The sound, however, is delightful.

Fresh.

The sound carries the implication of what it is. What it means.

Fresh. I like it. Not all that crazy about virgin.
