[Monkey D. Luffy]

It's understandable to use a thesaurus in situations where you have a "brain fart" and can't think of the exact term you desire to use, but it's not appropriate to abuse in lieu of simply projecting what comes to mind naturally. Often I've even opted out of "larger" words in favor of smaller, less articulate words/phrases simply in light of the fact that they mesh better with anterior/subsequent terms, additionally due to the actual meaning of the word making more sense.

On the flipside, sometimes I even conjure up terms on the fly or utilize goofy phrases simply because that's my (and thereby Luffy's) personality and writing forte. For a single example, I've used the term "skittled" a couple times. Not a real word, I'm fully aware, but my use of it is hopefully clear enough that I mean "collectively variable and/or colorfully widespread."

Essentially, I enjoy toying with word use as much as possible, yet without trying to hard.
