Pulchritude is such an ironically ugly word.

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. :-)

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

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

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.

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