I didn't know it was a real word and assumed OP made it as a combination of abnormal and enormous. Just looked it up though and you're right.

I feel like with enough usage, we could force the definition to shift.

I'm going to try and make fetch happen!

That’s it. I’m invoking the clause.
Prepare yourselves, millennials, we’re not done making quirky headlines yet.

Article IV § 2 of the generational edict asserts that every generation holds the unilateral right whimsically adopt cultural relics and insist without proof that they’ve always done things that way to other generations.

From now on: everything cool is fetch; it’s not a glow-up, someone has ‘become fetch’; ✘ you got that drip, ✔ you’re so fetch.

I mean that's literally how it works yeah, the dictionary just observes how people use the words, they don't define them themselves
