Definition
physical beauty (especially of a woman)- The plastic surgeon thinks of herself, not as a doctor, but as a purveyor of pulchritude.
- "The first example in each series," Mike offered, "would be, on the basis of my associational analyses of such data, of such pulchritudinous value as to please any healthy, mature human male."Robert A. Heinlein -- The Moon is a Harsh Mistress
