enormous
This word is used to describe things that are much larger than usual. It can refer to physical size (like a building) or non-physical things (like a mistake or an amount of money). While 'big' and 'large' are common, 'enormous' adds strong emphasis. Use it when you want to highlight that the size is surprising or overwhelming.

Chloe uses 'enormous' to emphasize the scale of the theft and her frustration. Leo responds with 'my bad', a common casual apology, and uses a personification idiom ('asking to be eaten') to deflect guilt through sarcasm.
