Ginormous

The combination of "gigantic" and "enormous" was added to the Merriam-Webster dictionary earlier this week. Along with Bollywood, sudoku, speed dating and approximately a 100O other words.

Myself I have never heard about ginourmous before, but according to the dictionary company it’s an old word.

But Merriam-Webster traces ginormous back to 1948, when it appeared in a British dictionary of military slang. And in the past several years, its use has become, well, ginormous.

Hm well, I think I’ll start using it when it gets super ginormous.
