Why isn't it with a W?
Why grapevine?
I love the english language. Because it's so wild and wide and rich and crazy. Was checking out some synonyms yesterday. That's one aspect I like. There are so many in english, and they all often mean slightly different.
Anyhow, I came across this

My research suggests that the word with the record number of synonyms that mean precisely the same thing is drunk. Although good may have 380 synonyms, many, many of these have different meanings across multiple contexts. Drunk means drunk: under the influence of alcohol to the point that you have lost your sensible decision-making capability. Here are 120 words that are synonyms for drunk. There are many more than I have listed here; this is just a solid sampling of the ones that I have heard.
