    Can confirm that 'cromulent' is in the Oxford English Dictionary [0] ... >> Acceptable, adequate, satisfactory. >> Frequently used humorously or ironically in recognition of its origin as an invented word in the television programme The Simpsons (see quot. 1996). As is 'embiggen', namely 'transitive. To make bigger or greater, to enlarge.'

  True And it's a shame they used it incorrectly in the title - "embiggen" means "enlarge, make bigger", not "become bigger" which is the case with Power11

    Ahhh okay I was so confused reading the title...I was like "Huh, what do they mean by they made a 'bit' larger? As in a byte...?" Very confusing title...
