CrazyDogLadySezPEACE@cstross Pulchritudinous is just a gross word, so I’m hoping that’s the odd word out. (It’s like “moist”. The thing it means is fine, but saying/hearing/reading the word is vaguely icky.)
Randy_underscore_S@Heartofcoyote @cstross Hard agree, it does not sound like what it means at all; to me it feels like something you'd hear in valley-speak. I remember finding that word around the same time as "Wegovy" and now the two are forever linked in my mind as how California surfers in the 80's might have greeted each other.
