It's A Perfectly Cromulent Word

The founder of Springfield from The Simpsons has a quote with a made-up word.

"A noble spirit embiggens the smallest man."

I did not get the joke until very recently.

It's a play on Thomas Jefferson's coining the word, "belittle."

There was some damn subtle stuff in the older episodes.
