"Just two years after a majority of visitors to Merriam-Webster OnLine declared it to be their "Favorite Word (Not in the Dictionary)," the adjective "ginormous" (now officially defined as "extremely large: humongous"), has won a legitimate place in the 2007 copyright update of Merriam-Webster's Collegiate Dictionary, Eleventh Edition." From Merriam-Webster.
And to celebrate, I am using it in an upcoming Surfnetkids column "Photo Sharing."
"Gimungous," however, is still relegated to their Open Dictionary, where users submit and share their own entries.
