peachalorum n. an attractive or excellent person or thing. Editorial Note: This word is rare. The second citation is known to have been written by Henry M. Hyde. Etymological Note: Perhaps influenced by cockalorum ‘a self-important little man.’ The Historical Dictionary of American Slang notes that the pseudo-Latin suffixes -alorum and -alorium, possibly extracted from cockalorum, were historically used for humorous emphasis.
