Diablo 2 taught me this. Along with my other favourite word: Gargantuan.

From Gulliver's Travels by Jonathan Swift, the lands of Lilliput and Gargantua. In one, every resident is tiny, Lilliputian, and in the other: huge, ...Gargantuan

Notably, the book reads in a very modern way, it's a bit shocking to know it was written in the 1700s when stylistically, and according to its vocabulary, it feels so very modern.

Wow. Embarrassingly I admit I’ve never read it but you’ve sold me.

Also I love how Gargantua sounds right. Just like Morlocks and Eloi. Language is fun.

Hate to be pedantic, but as a Frenchman I can't help but point out it's actually from Rabelais: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gargantua_and_Pantagruel

Haha indeed, I forgot this existed! What a long and winding trail our languages are!

Thanks, your pedantry is greatly appreciated, it makes HN fun and educational
