super size

Upgrade your meal

Super size means to make something significantly larger, especially a fast-food portion: Would you like to super size that?

The term gained currency through McDonald's promotional upselling before becoming a general verb for enlarging anything beyond standard dimensions.

Also spelled supersize.

As an adjective, it describes anything oversized: a super-size SUV, super-size ambitions.
