Great word for pneumatic tube & machine systems, which are all over in old SF (and Futurama).
A lot of pulp crime & SF stories also used it for pulchritudinous, which could be a lot worse if they'd been more direct? I wouldn't use it for that this century, but I try to only judge things by the time they were written.
