I'm somewhat surprised to see that nobody so far has cited the classic use--perfect for Mudcat--of "ginormous"--from one of my favorite Middle Bar songs. Also surprised to see it's not in Digitrad.
From "Dorset Is Beautiful"
As best I can recall, the verse in question goes something like:
Oh, Betsy's my girlfriend and I loves her so
Hers as big as an 'aystack, and 40 years old
Farmer says she's ginormous, and loud do he scoff
For you has to leave a chalk mark to show where you left off.
I can just hear Tony or another MBS belting it out-- and we all come in on the chorus.
Maybe a MBS can correct my lyrics.
