Seriously, what’s the significance of the word? There are many teens in my neighborhood, as well as me having a teenage sister, who laugh hysterically at the word.

Some people will respond with “Wanna know what else is massive?” Is this a sex joke or something?

[I live in the US now but grew up where many people did not speak English so I may not understand jokes that well even if my parents are English speakers.]

    It’s a common error but I do believe the correct spelling is “junglist massive” as in “there are a lot of junglists”. But many people say it like you did (or at least used to, no idea if junglist are still massive).

    With that all said, I was also expecting the thread to be about this and thinking “I’m no teen and I definitely know massive”.

      both were known, and argued about pre internet of course. I never thought to look it up til now. It’s possible it was just the pocket of dumb mostly white kids in my small town I grew up in that got it wrong tho

        Def not if anything I think more people know it the other way around, it’s just a fun bit of dnb trivia.
