Ginormous

According to CNN, the word "ginormous" was just added to the new edition of the Merriam-Webster collegiate dictionary. Normally, I would applaud such a decision, but I have to admit that this particular one came as quite a shock to me. I mean seriously, ginormous wasn't a word before now? AND no one ever corrected me when I used it (and I used it a lot). I mean, sure, we all knew "crunk" was made up and "smackdown" was a stupid fake wrestling thing, but "ginormous"? That's a whole nother story. This is absolutely ridonkulous.
