Does anyone else use the word 'ginormous' in conversation?

[bigwillq]

I guess that's the new fad word. I heard it was said on the "OC" a few weeks ago and I've heard it said elsewhere.

A few of my friends have used it.

Only in the English language do we find a need to combine two words and make another word.

1. Only in reference to the national debt.

:shrug:

[bigwillq]

3. HAHA!

2. what does this mean?

[bigwillq]

4. It's a cross between

gigantic and enormous. So I'm guessing something really big or huge.

11. it "sounds" like a mistake Bush would do.

[wtmusic]

14. as opposed to 'humongous' , which is a cross between "huge" and...

fungus?

[bigwillq]

17. LOL!

:)

5. New? We used it in the 80s when valley talk was cool.

You know, "gnarly" "heinous" "wicked" "bitchin" "fanfuckingtastic"

And...

"ginormous"

I saw it on Dodgeball last night--brought back memories of a word that escaped my vocabulary about twenty years ago. :-)

7. I never heard it before the last few weeks

Sorry, I'm not as cool as I thought as was!:)

[Maddy McCall]

13. No, trust me, valley talk is something that should be forgotten.

I personally hate the word.

[bigwillq]

20. I'm from them the Valley

The Naugatuck Valley here in CT!


It's a very odd place.

[bigwillq]

8. And I thought you were ultra-hip!

[cruadin]

9. Absitively. n/t

[vixengrl]

10. "Gihugic", we said that in my junior high.

And that was...sixteen years ago.

[bigwillq]

15. Gihugic!

I think I like that better!:)

[Bouncy Ball]

12. HEY!!!

I'VE been using that word for YEARS.

People are totally copying off of my ginormous ideas.

[bigwillq]

16. Ah, what a trendsetter you are!

Bow down to Bouncy Ball!:P

[Rabrrrrrr]

18. I've been uisng it for years

Years and years. I think even in high school I was using it, and that was 20+ years ago. Seems my physics teacher liked that word, but I'm not sure.

But I know I've been using it for a long time.

Great word!

[Undercover Owl]

19. not new

I first heard it in 2000 and used it a few times in casual conversation. I think I'm too old to use it & be taken seriously anymore (mid 30s)
