Etymology

A portmanteau of w, which is derived from the grapheme being analysed as rotated 180 degrees, and an unclear element, perhaps jumbo, to contrast with mini. First heard in the season 3 episode of the Nickelodeon show Spongebob Squarepants "Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy IV", said, and most likely coined, by the character Patrick Star.
