cool word of the week
Brobdignagiun - (brob-dig-NAJ-ee-un) huge, gigantic, extremely tall or large.
This word comes from the book "Gulliver's Travels" by Jonathan Swift. Brobdignag is the mythical country inhabited by giants that Gulliver visits.
Our Brobdignagian substitute lumbered into the classroom like a giant tree that had suddenly discovered the ability to walk.
Also from Gulliver's Travels comes the word "Lilliputian" (lil-i-pew-shun) which is an antonym for Brobdignagian. Lilliput is the island where the tiny people live.
