synonyms

so yesterday i saw a turtle crossing the road. it was a very big turtle.
so when telling the story later on i, naturally, used as many embellishing words as possible.

"MOM, i saw this turtle today, and it was big.. no huge.. mammoth."

this led me to think of other words meaning BIG.
lets list them:
ample, sizeable, galactic, capacious, colossal, enormous, elephantine, gargantuan, jumbo, vast, immense, whopping, walloping, macro/macroscopic, monolithic, monstrous, volumonous, brobdingnagian (yeah, apparently its a word, and it means big... who knew), and my personal favorite.. BEHEMOTH.

synonyms are so fun... i mean 'such merriment'.
