No doubt you've heard how folks combine words to make new words. The word I'm thinking of is ginormous, a pairing of gigantic and enormous. It's kind of fun, and we all know what it means: huge.
Last week I overheard two excited young women discussing something, which I can guess was huge, but I'm not sure, because the word was new to me and left me puzzled.
Ginormal.
Do you know it? Know what it means? Is it just a new and even more playful bending of the same word/idea?

Ginormal - the gigantic portion sizes you get at fast food restaurants that are now considered normal.
What do you think?
Sounds right to me.
