  Comments:
馬鹿 and でかい are already in the dictionary, and the meaning of 馬鹿でかい could certainly be inferred, but I've actually only ever seen でかい used as part of 馬鹿でかい, so I thought it might be worth adding as a phrase.

The kanji should probably have a [uK] designation, but the instructions say that should only be added by registered editors.

The meanings I've listed are just a few examples, and are just variations on the same sense of the word. The first time I ran across the phrase, it was actually being used as a translation for "Brobdingnagian" :-)  Please edit or change the meanings as you see fit.
