 * It’s used in the German incarnation of "The Simpsons" as a humorous neologism to translate the similarly humorous English embiggen. —Stephen 15:16, 8 June 2007 (UTC)


 * But is it used by anybody else? Cynewulf 16:13, 29 June 2007 (UTC)


 * I (as a German) never heard of this word in my life. There are no references and nearly no Google hits (one of whom calls it a "non-existing" German word). --Zeitlupe 21:35, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

 * Google Search for vergrandet (3.500+ Hits) reveals the sentence:  Tapferkeit und Edelmut vergrandet auch den kleinsten Wicht zum Helden.. 134.96.90.21 13:25, 21 October 2013 (UTC)

 * Deleted as a readded failed RFV with no citations. Equinox ◑ 07:55, 9 April 2014 (UTC)
