Where is my THIS ?

Hi guys,

I passed this test. But I´m not pretty sure what is my "THIS"? My logic tells me that it´s the name of object which tries if object in parameter has same value.

Am I right?

Thank you

VocabularyWord.cs 
using System;
namespace Treehouse.CodeChallenges
{
    public class VocabularyWord
    {
        public string Word { get; private set; }

        public VocabularyWord(string word)
        {
            Word = word;
        }

        public override string ToString()
        {
            return Word;
        }

        public override bool Equals (Object obj)
        {
            if (obj == null)
            {
            return false;
            }

            VocabularyWord something = obj as VocabularyWord;

        return this.Word == something.Word;
        }
    }
}

Thank you. I was confused if this does not belong to parameter of method.
