Embiggens

The word `Embiggens` which I've been using as part of my signature for donkey's years has made it into the Merriam Webster dictionary.

About time, it's a very cromulent word - surprised that `cromulent` hasn't yet made it into the tome but time will tell.

Re: Embiggens

Never heard of it Judd.
Is it another word for "donkey's years"?

Re: Embiggens

I may be wrong, but didn't the word first appear in The Simpsons?

Re: Embiggens

Does it mean those large ones, Judd?

Re: Embiggens

You are correct. It's carved on a monument to Jebediah Springfield, the founder of the town.
