splendiferous

Stunningly grand display

Splendiferous means splendid or magnificent, with a playful, exaggerated quality.

The word is humorous and deliberately overwrought—nobody uses it in earnest: What a splendiferous display of fireworks!

It belongs to a family of mock-fancy words like fantabulous and ginormous.
