First, "similar" or "same" will NOT work -- these are synonyms for the adjective "synonymous"
For the noun "synonym", try:
equivalent, substitute
(Some folks will claim that "synonym", ironically, HAS no synonyms. But that is based on a misunderstanding of what a synonym actually is. To be a synonym, a word does NOT have to have exactly the same meaning in all instances. It simply has to be able to convey the same meaning in SOME cases. If you say "I can't think of a synonym for 'obnoxious'." you could use "a substitute" or "an equivalent" in place of "a synonym" and it would convey the same sense. Thus, in this case, these words function as synonyms for "synonym".)

There isn't one, and Steven Wright's been using that damn joke for over 20 years.
