I want to know what that is now, just for the sake of being able to use such a magnificent word in a sentence
Although the sentence will likely be "someone I know off the internet had Splenomegaly once, or at least some of the symptoms of it"

Splen - spleen
megaly, mega - increase in size.

ie, enlargement of the spleen. I had a population of weird shaped blood cells (stomatocytes - cells with stoma, or 'mouths') and some abdominal pain, and google informed me that it was most like to be splenomegaly. It was idiopathic and it resolved within a couple of months.

I'm going to stop using long words now.

Thank you for that

Is there an equivalent for boobies?

Mammomegaly?
erm. There was that woman on This Morning, I think it was, who'd had some sort of fibre implanted in her breast tissue, and the purpose of it was to irritate and cause inflammation, and so cause an increase in size of her boobs. Otherwise, no, not that I can think of. Hormones increase your breast size (ie, pregnancy and some contraceptive pills can) or overeating does, but that's about it.

It looked fucking horrible, if you ask me.

This is why I'm scared of scientists
I was only thinking of a cup size or two...

Then gel bras are the way forward
I can recommend Ultimo, although how you'd buy one for your missus without causing all kinds of offence, I'm not really sure...

It's not for the missus
I just want to see giant boobies everywhere I go

I don't get why men are fixated with giant boobs
they just don't look nice above a certain size.

because darth
has a spreadsheet that can tell him exactly who you've just insulted

Only up to a certain extent
Thus far the spreadsheet only has about 7 names on it

Also, breast size can be increased by rubbing a bit of toilet tissue between the cleavage.
At least, that's what I told my ex.

When she questioned if this was fact, I was able to say, 'course it is, look what that toilet paper has done to your arse'
