It doesn't work unless it's actually ginormous

There have to be like a bazillion (i daresat GAzillion) words more offensive…

I like ginormous… humongous is a good one too.
Red3584	29 Apr 2011 1:53 a.m. PST
…as is Mahoosive!
kreoseus2	29 Apr 2011 1:58 a.m. PST
Humongus is a cool word
Zyphyr	29 Apr 2011 3:02 a.m. PST
The use of ginormous is truly egregious.
Ed Mohrmann	29 Apr 2011 4:16 a.m. PST
It's just kid-speak.
Connard Sage	29 Apr 2011 4:39 a.m. PST
I think it's a perfectly cromulent word.
richarDISNEY	29 Apr 2011 7:30 a.m. PST
I think you mean "crapulent", Connard Sage…
Mapleleaf	29 Apr 2011 7:49 a.m. PST
No I used to date a cute girl who used that phrase a lot so every time I see it used it brings back pleasant memories of our time together
Ed Mohrmann	29 Apr 2011 7:50 a.m. PST
Well done, Connard ! Irony, always your long suit ! (I only watch "The Simpsons" rarely, but did catch that particular episode…)
Muah ha ha	29 Apr 2011 8:21 a.m. PST
Please don't ban ginormous. If you do, I'll never be able to zip up my pants.
Editor in Chief Bill	29 Apr 2011 8:50 a.m. PST
…I used to date a cute girl who used that phrase a lot… It's a word, not a phrase, isn't it?
Patrick R	29 Apr 2011 9:29 a.m. PST
I beleive in werds that betterify the Inglish langwage.
recon35	29 Apr 2011 10:08 a.m. PST
I like it's opposite, Teeninesy

Bill wrote"It's a word, not a phrase, isn't it?" The way she drew it out it sounded like a full sentence ML

That weird girl from NSCISICISICSN does a commercial for some hotel savings website, and says "ginoromous". "Humongous" was bad enough.
adub74	29 Apr 2011 12:37 p.m. PST
Hate? Why? It's in the dictionary now. That makes it official. Or can we only use words that are older than you?
