Thank You.

An appropriate "Word For The Day":
(brob-ding-NAG-ee-uhn) Enormous, huge

In Jonathan Swift's 1726 satire "Gulliver's Travels," the fanciful country of Brobdingnag was inhabited by people twelve times the size of ordinary humans.

Writing in Smithsonian magazine, Robert Hendrickson used "Brobdingnagian" to fine effect when describing someone blowing bubblegum: "The bubble rose, rose higher. It was a big, beautiful bubble, a Brobdingnagian bubble, a supercalifragilisticexpialidocious bubble."
