Synonyms are different words that have the same meaning. As I've noticed though, in many cases there are certain synonyms that seem to be stronger than others, another words, some synonyms tend to for some reason or another meet the definition better. An example would be the word "stomach" and the word "tummy." Stomach and tummy are synonyms, they both mean the same thing in that they both define the organ in which food is digested. Of the two words, stomach seems to be stronger. The word stomach seems to meet the definition better than the word tummy.
Another example would be the words man, guy, dude, and fellow. They all mean the same thing and yet the word "male" seems to be stronger than all those words in meeting the definition.
So is it true that some synonyms are stronger than others in meeting the definition? It seems that way.
