What are you doing, embiggening the vocabulary?
Incidentally, "craptaculous" entered the American lexicon on December 21, 1997, in the Simpsons episode "Miracle on Evergreen Terrace." In just one month, it'll be ten years old! How shall we celebrate this momentous -- or, as Nick would have it, this momentulicious -- occasion? Extra points to Julia for (at least implicitly) knowing that "Craptaculous" is the correct word (with all due respect -- that is to say, not much -- to Nick): Craptaculous, embiggens and Cromulent are all Simpsoneologisms.
