Talk:humongous

I was under the impression that the word was coined by the author of Barney Google and that it meant disproportionately large.Kdammers (talk) 11:42, 8 April 2013 (UTC)

Etymology

Is there a source for this? I don't see any similarities to monstrous at all. Lukini (talk) 16:23, 21 September 2016 (UTC)

It seems more likely to me that it's a mixture of "huge" and "tremendous." Kostaki mou (talk) 20:54, 13 March 2017 (UTC)

Etymonline. Makes no sense to me either (a blend would outcome 'humonstrous') but at least its verifiable. – Nixinova [‌T|C] 12:22, 2 May 2024 (UTC)
