Actually, come to think of it, not much really come to mind. I'm asking about like one word synonyms, not something with two words in it like, "similiar meaning" or something. I figure if synonym means two words are close in meaning, then doesn't that mean synonym should have a synonym too? I mean, I could think synonyms for other words better than the word itself... Strange.

That's really funny. I never thought about that: there really is no synonym for synonym. It stands alone and unaided. If you want to call something a synonym, you MUST call it a synonym, nothing else. While we're on the subject, could someone please, PLEASE explain to me why abbreviation is such a ridiculously long word? Interestingly enough, there's no synonym for abbreviation either. What a crazy language!

Haha, I know! I went on an online dictionary to search for synonyms, there were none! Funny!
