Whale, Blue

/whayl/  n.
  1. 1. A marine leviathan whose girth and length transcend terrestrial metrics, often seen astern with a raking light that accentuates its oceanic immensity.
  2. 2. colloq. An aquatic presence so commanding that even the Pacific appears to make room. The sea knows when it's time to part.
In a sentence,

"That blue whale is so thiccc it made the research vessel look like a bath toy. The ocean had to negotiate terms."

Etymology,

From Middle English whale, from Old English hwæl, akin to Old Norse hvalr. Derived from Proto-Germanic hwalaz, a term that likely meant, 'Hope you brought a wide-angle lens.'
