Pulchritudinous

Filed Under P 

I love how a word that means “beautiful” is so ugly-sounding. It could make the best backhanded compliment, but at the same time it’s such an extravagant word that if someone knows what it means, it could also be the best kind of praise.

    I read a book that used this word but in a different form. It used “pulchy” instead of the whole word. Its such a perfect word to describe something pleasing to your eyes. Much better than cute.

    This is the best word I have ever comprehended in my life. Secondly, this is the best pick up line in the world!

    I love this word! My husband has told me for the last 25 years that he loves my pulchritudinous. It is the best compliment to receive!!!
