One of my favorite words. Pulchritude of the female variety is my most cherished aesthetic.

Donald Trump shows intestinal fortitude
While Melania displays perfect pulchritude
While the prior eight years
Offered losing and tears
These winners are winning my gratitude

Gloria Steinem: The only times I’ve ever heard people use the word pulchritude, was to objectify women. It should be removed from the English language.

Sounds like pulchritude should be “having or attaining the attitude of pulp.”
