PULCHRITUDE
This Wednesday's Weird Word is PULCHRITUDE. Credit goes to Cecily K at http://www.uppercasewoman.com and twitter @Cecilyk for giving us the idea and permission to use it.
On Tuesday, Cecily had tweeted:
"Trying to make a word trend: pulchritude. Yep, PULCHRITUDE. It means beautiful. Really."
So here is our little part in helping to make her wish come true! =) Though in all honesty, Cecily could do just about anything all by herself. We are just happy she is our twitter friend. Oh, and the highlight color is also a nod to Cecily and her wonderfully fun hair. (Am I starting to sound like a stalker now?)
Pulchritude means (beautiful or) physical comeliness. Now I have to look up the word comeliness... or maybe I'll just save it for next Wednesday.

I don't even know where to begin with this word! It just blows my mind. Beautiful, really? SO great. Thanks for sharing Cecily and "The Girls"
ReplyDeleteCelina Murph - Our pleasure! Thanks for checking it out. Weird words are our "thing" on Wednesday. There are SO many out there that are unusual and underused. We get a kick out of working them into conversations! =)
