the worthless word for the day is: swingeing

[Brit] whopping, capital
/SWI njin/ or /SWIN jeen/

The lord chief justice then applied the only sentence that was available to him -- a sentence still passed occasionally today, and that has a beguiling charm to its language, despite the swingeing awfulness of its connotations. - Simon Winchester, The Professor and the Madman, A Tale of Murder, Insanity, and the Making of the Oxford English Dictionary
