Ginormous

Word fusion is fun, yes indeed. But like a bomb of banality in a wordy hurt locker, it's gotta be defused eventually.

It's not as if the English language doesn't have enough words for one thing. If Gigantic and Enormous are old hat, there's also herculean, colossal, cyclopean, elephantine, gargantuan, giant, huge, immense, jumbo, mammoth, massive, monster, monstrous, stupendous, monolithic, titan, tremendous, vast, astronomic, considerable, humongous, mega, monumental, prodigious, sizable, towering, very big, very large, whopping and brobdingnagian.

Brobdingnagian beats Ginormous vowels and consonants down. It's even a bigger word.
