Just what is the definition of a "big word" anyway?
I don't know HOW it got its (ahem) appellation, but it IS misleading. Some short words are "big" and some large ones may not be considered "big". Basically, it is a arcane word. Of course, everyone has their OWN idea of which words apply there.
If you had a word frequency list, every word after say 3000 MIGHT be considered a "big" word by someone.
