Pedantry!

Now I personally wince when people say 'ginormous' but who the fuck cares? Its just snobbery that makes me hate it, like the way I think 'toilet' is a 'naff'* word and 'lavatory' isn't.

• an interesting word, naff. It means 'Not Available For F*cking', comes from that slang/patois (its got a name but I can't remember it) that the gay community used to avoid detection during the days when homosexuality was illegal.
  
  

Patois = slave. Naff, therefore = cool.

patois

"a provincial dialect," 1643, from Fr. [FONT=Georgia]patois[/FONT] "native or local speech," from O.Fr. [FONT=Georgia]patoier[/FONT] "handle clumsily, to paw," from [FONT=Georgia]pate[/FONT] "a paw," from V.L. *[FONT=Georgia]patta,[/FONT] perhaps imitative of the sound made by a paw. The language sense is probably from notion of clumsy manner of speaking. Especially in ref. to Jamaican English from 1934.
