beaut

1. (informal) Something that is a remarkable example of its type.

   With a little decoration this house could be a real beaut.

I doubt this sense; I don't doubt the other ((informal) Something or someone that is physically attractive).—msh210℠ 20:29, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

I've heard this used countless times; it is easily cited from b.g.c.; I will get to that shortly. sewnmouthsecret 21:07, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

If it's clearly widespread, don't bother. I'd never hoid of it, is all.—msh210℠ 21:28, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

You better believe it's real, buster. Don't you be bettin' against it. I'll check it out in my bootleg stash of w:Damon Runyon when I get around to it, if I get around to it, see? DCDuring 22:17, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

I use the word in this sense, as in "that's a beaut of a black eye". --Una Smith 18:44, 16 November 2007 (UTC)

I've always understood that to mean "something attractive" (sarcastic).—msh210℠ 17:18, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
