Crossy Posted November 23, 2005 Share Posted November 23, 2005 OK, evidently the Thai goverment have an old and unreliable Thesaurus. We need some new synonyms for 'crackdown'. I'll start with 'purge' Anyone?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jai Dee Posted November 23, 2005 Share Posted November 23, 2005 "Purge" implies getting rid of the issue completely, whereas "crackdown" suggests that whilst the issue will be addressed, there may be some residual doo-doo that doesn't get cleaned up... How about "clamp-down"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crossy Posted November 23, 2005 Author Share Posted November 23, 2005 How about "clamp-down"? My Thesaurus only gives 'clamp down' as a true synonym, maybe we should be looking for "pseudo synonyms" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
