Daniel Wetmore's definitions
bebig derives its meaning in opposition and by comparison with belittle, to make some bigger than it really is, to overstate the importance of something, to make claims that overreach.
Bebigging, in my opinion,is a grandiose form of belittling.
Making something bigger, more important, more significant, than it actually is does little more than diminish it, robbing it of its real power.

To bebiggle something (or someone), in my opinion, is as bad as belittling. Making something bigger, more important, more significant, than it actually is does little more than diminish it, robbing it of its real power.

Get the posithought mug.A mushroom shaped pillar of winter snow capped by a clod of dirt, a dead animal, or a piece of trash, left standing while snow around it melts away. The pillar gradually hollows but the top is the last to melt since it is protected by the detritus. They last but a short time and are a sure sign of Spring in Vermont.
