And just like that, you’ve used a word connected to cromulent, straight from its source:He’s just trying to embiggen his vocabulary.
It is safe to say that The Simpsons has contributed a great deal to the English language. One famous example is cromulent, which was coined specifically for the 1996 episode “Lisa the Iconoclast." In reference to one character’s questioning of the use of embiggen, another says “it’s a perfectly cromulent word.”
Nicely played.
