I came across this word and I had no idea what it meant. I had to check it out on thesaurus.com! I was so shocked to find out it meant attractive! It sounds like it would mean something else entirely! Judging from the comments (er, um, comment) it was obscure for you, too!!
Well Barb, since I learned this new word I shall use it in a sentence. You and your Hubby are a very pulchritudinous couple. (Does that work? How is that word even pronounced?)

I'm with you- doesn't sound like a word you'd use in a romantic conversation! :)
