Exquisite

A word most of us know but, as with so many other serviceable words, I rarely hear it used in conversations.

I think this word is generally reserved for references to women. Try using it when you have a chance to compliment a spouse, girlfriend, or lover on her appearance, e.g., "You really look exquisite tonight."

Or perhaps to describe a particularly spectacular feature of said person's body, e.g., "You really have exquisite [use your imagination here] or an exquisite [ditto]."
