| I'm glad you liked it! I knew I hadn't made it up; I always thought it was a word from The Simpsons, but I just heard a story on the radio where they mentioned its usage had been discovered a century or two ago. If "enlarge" is a word, why not "embiggen"? | |

| Using it would be perfectly cromulent. | |

| ...and I thought it was something "The Simpsons" made up. (I've never used it or seen it used outside of internet-speak.) | |
