Word of the Week - 15
This week's word is another adjective which you can use to describe something that is really, really big in an informal way. It is often used when somebody is exaggerating about how large something really is. The word is what is known as a Portmanteau term, because it has been made up through a fusion of two other adjectives; gigantic and enormous.
Tom and Gina's wedding cake was absolutely ginormous! I had never seen such a large cake before!
-I look ginormous in this skirt! I really must go on a diet.
-Don't be silly, you look wonderful!
