Find a word related to the word - - H U G E

The idea is to find an English word (synonym –- antonym -- phrase, idiom, phrasal verb ) related to the word – H U G E ( adjetivo) and then write a simple sentence in English and Spanish for that word.

Examples:

It is not a good idea to eat a huge amount of junk food.

No es una buena idea comer una gran cantidad de comida chatarra.

  • should this be una idea buena?

Pictures are a good idea.

[This link might help you find some ideas.]

Mariana has kindly agreed to be the “official” corrector of the Spanish.

I think I can manage being the “unofficial” corrector for the English, ja ja

This was the previous challenge
