Grandiose

adjective gran-dee-ohz

Meaning:  Very, very big.

What It Means

Grandiose is most often used disapprovingly to describe something that seems impressive or is intended to be impressive, but is either not possible or practical.

The committee eventually scaled back the most outlandish parts of its plans for the festival, including a grandiose scheme to bring in live peacocks for the event.

GRANDIOSE in Context

“Dave says their engineer had ‘grandiose ideas about wanting to make songs sound like Phil Spector,’ but the group steered the sound in a more austere direction, inspired by the first two Strokes albums, along with grungier records by Sheer Mag and fellow Aussies Royal Headache.”
