Pulchritude is such an ironically ugly word.

“This aggression will not stand”, said the dude
Not the Big Labowski, it’s Thump I’m referring to
Missiles away
Hip Hip Hooray
Last night’s action was a thing of pulchritude

On a serious note, both boys are in to the vet today for their annual. The battle of their bulges is on the list of topics for discussion. :-)

Funny, I don’t remember THAT lyric!...................

[moovova]

The pulchritudinous nature of your post has driven me to a cold shower.

(They just don’t build’em like they used to...)

One of the antonyms of pulchritude is ghastliness. I know it's hard, but picture Killary as an example.

[Red Badger]

She IS ghastly!.................

Perhaps the only example of today's word being used in a song. And naturally the rhymed word is "nude." :-)

You must have been Miss Pennsylvania
With all this pulchritude
How come you always load your Pentax
When I'm in the nude?

We oughta have a birthday party
And you can wear you birthday clothes
We can hit the floor
And go explore those
Popsicle toes

~Michael Franks "Popsicle Toes"

In my best Bugs Bunny:

Mm-mm what a woman, what a gal, what a vision of feminine pulchritude.

[Robert A Cook PE]

Well, the socialist democrat-communist-Muslim demand we pullaChristdude out of our lives completely ... Certainly not a beautiful thing.

[Red Badger]

A+ for the pun!....................
