Massive
Massive is a word woefully misused mostly by lazy writers, journalists and news readers. A mountain is massive, a ship is massive, a boulder is massive, because (Hello!) it has mass. Still you continue to see massive blackouts, massive searches, massive investigations, and especially massive heart attacks and strokes. It has pused aside perfectly good words as extensive or comprehensive, even fatal. Just laziness ...
