Pulchritudinous. I remember learning this word when I was in fifth or sixth grade. I thought that it was so much cooler than saying “beautiful” so I went around calling everyone I knew (mom, sister, friends) pulchritudinous. Looking back on it, while funny and nerdy that I thought that way, it was also sweet. I think that spoke to my inner beauty that I wanted a better word to call the beautiful people in my life beautiful. I have always been downright pulchritudinous.
