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.
