Every time I see that I think back to the early 1990s. On our way to an SCA event near Lake San Antonio. Had to pass through Fort Hunter Liggett to get there and had stopped at Mission San Antonio de Padua (one of the best preserved missions in California). Left there and about two miles later punched in the clutch and stood on the brakes just after going around a 90 degree corner. Hanging over the road, maybe 50 feet off the ground was a Cobra, nose down like it was waiting for someone. Looked around to see what the heck was going on and about 100 yards to our left, in among some trees, were some tents, camo netting, and a bunch of guys in uniform laughing their butts off.

I first saw it around '02 or '03. I've used it here maybe a couple of dozen times. Usually "Click on the picture to embiggen it." or "I had to wait until I could get to my desktop so I could embiggen it." A very useful word.

Those sound good.

From the Hochdeutsch via Late Norman French meaning To Embiggen.

Yes.
