A quick search led me to a wikipedia article devoted to one particular Simpson's episode that uses the words embiggen and cromulent.

This is one of my favorite Simpsons episode.
ReplyDeleteCromulent shows up in some of the quirkiest places. The handler code under Firefox includes several field and then selectors (usually 0 or 1 for on and off). At one point in time there was a field simply labelled "cromulent". Of course the default was 1.
