Found this in the Vernon Coleman book I'm currently reading. It was so alien to me that I had to look it up, just to make sure it's areal word. Needless to say, it's been a minute since I read Gulliver's Travels and when I did, it was the German version.

Originated from the tale Gulliver's Travels, from the town Brobdingnag, where everything was really fucking big.

Maybe just ask people if they've read 'Gulliver's Travels' and how long ago it was.

"Nice to meet you Ms. HR lady. Have you read 'Gulliver's Travels' and if you did, how long ago did that happen?"

"Want to see my brobdingnagian member?"
