A blurb for one of our books mentions the author's "pellucid prose." I had to look it up:

pellucid, a. (n.) -- 2. fig. a. Easy to ‘see through’ or detect; ‘transparent’. Obs. b. Showing the sense clearly, clear in style or expression. c. Perceiving clearly, mentally clear.

Yuck. Looks too much like "flaccid."
