Uh... No it is not! That is not a word. Gigantic is a word. Giant is a word. Enormous is a word. Ginormous is some crazy morphing of the above sufficient and healthy words. Morphed words are like genetic altering of crops and plants. They aren't the real thing. They are not pure. They are manipulated by people in the hopes of making something better; but it is not better. Something just doesn't feel right about them.
I reject morphed words. Ginormous, chillaxin', and the like. I will not use them and I wonder about the people who do.
I'm not a language snob. I use slang, ya know? I do have an appreciation for language though, and something feel wrong about morphing words with the same meaning. What's the point?
