cromulent - acceptable or satisfactory originally invented in the show simpsons i 1996 as a joke “A noble spirit embiggens the smallest man.” One teacher leans over to another and says that she’d never heard the word embiggen before . “I don't know why,” the other teacher replies. “It's a perfectly cromulent word.” the joke being that both embiggen and cromulent were not actual words ironically both of these are now accepted into general use, with them having a page at merriam webster there are alternate spelling of the word being: chromulent, cromulant which aren't the official spellings and are wrong but refer to the same thing
