Pulchritudinous

My vocabulary is quite frankly gargantuan. I'm not pretentious. I don't try to use big words to look educated. It just happens.

The problem is that the only thing bigger than my vocabulary is my appetite for the fairer sex. I regularly compliment women when I pass them on the street but I of course always do so in a polite, courteous and sensual manner. They almost always respond positively.

Yesterday I was walking with a colleague of mine when I passed a woman who rivaled Aphrodite. It pained me that the rest of her undoubtedly luscious lips and assuredly earth-shattering smile were obscured by a mask. She walked by and I couldn't help but mutter "Simply pulchritudinous."

She turned around as red as Mars (in both senses) and told me to fuck off. I was shocked. I've never had a woman react like that about my word choice. Most are titillated, not ticked. My friend insisted that she just felt embarrassed because she didn't know the definition so she lashed out, and I'm inclined to agree with that.

But I'm still worried that it my vocabulary may be more off-putting than I initially thought. I don't want to ascribe the reaction of a single woman on the street too much consequence, that would be silly of me. But I am worried that because of my quick tongue I may indeed be the asshole in this situation. Am I?
