Chuck Norris found another word for synonym.
Alternate, substitute, alternative, equivalent, euphemism.

I guess I'm Chuck, then?
Nope. None of those words mean the word "Synonym". You'd have to put the word "word" at the end of each of those, in order to have the same definition as synonym. "Alternate word". "Substitute word". "Alternative word". "equivalent word".
This may or may not be valid, but having "euphemism" in that list proves you wrong.
Huh? Euphemism is the word that fits the least (hence that's the one I decided to not mention). Euphemism means to try and say something offensive in a nonoffensive way.

Or as Merriam-Webster says, "the substitution of an agreeable or inoffensive expression for one that may offend or suggest something unpleasant"

Nothing to do with synonym's. Euphemism's also have to do with expressions in general, and not single words, although obviously an expression could potentially be a single word.
On the contrary, a euphemism for a word can be considered a synonym. (BS is the same thing as bullshit, y'know?) In this sense, euphemism is indeed a synonym for synonym.

I'd like to agree with you, but I just can't. Euphemism isn't as simple as "just a synonym", because a euphemism is an expression, not a single word. A great example would be saying that somebody "passed on" instead of "they're dead". That's not a synonym, but it is a euphemism.

I urge you to check dictionary.com or merriam webster if you don't believe me. But, there really isn't a lot of room for argument here. It's pretty cut and dry what the difference is.

Is there a rule about synonyms only being a single word that I'm not aware of?

You seriously aren't getting this yet? I've already defined the word Euphemism and it doesn't match the definition of the word Synonym. I don't know what else to tell you at this point.

A euphemism's job is to make something negative or harsh sound lighter or more positive. A synonym's job is to have an identical meaning, that's it. I can't wrap it up any better then that, I don't think. Probably going to move on from this topic after this post.

"Make something negative or harsh SOUND lighter or more positive." You never said they had different meanings, because a euphemism has the same meaning as the word it's trying to cover up, but is presented in a lighter sense than the actual word. Furthermore, I checked a bloody thesaurus, and yes, the words I listed before are synonymous with the word "synonym." Synonyms don't need identical meanings, because, if two words mean exactly the same thing, why have two of them? It would be illogical. Synonyms can have similar definitions, not just identical.
From my dictionary, the definition of of "synonym."

"a word or phrase that means exactly or nearly the same as another word or phrase in the same language"

Looking back I probably should have pulled that definition a lot earlier.

Moses didn't part the Red Sea, Chuck Norris was just passing through.

Chuck Norris was mad and told some atoms to split before things got ugly...the Manhattan Project was just a cover.

We never see the darkside of the moon because Chuck Norris said he never wanted to see it's face again.

Chuck Norris is his own father, because nobody else is man enough to give birth to Chuck Norris.
