As you know, there’s a rule in journalism that requires all parking garages to be described as “hulking.” Now, anything can be hulking. A Bloomberg News story, July 6, 2021, about Volkswagen’s joint venture with a Croatian electric car maker, Rimac Automobili, to produce the “ultra-luxury” Bugatti. Bloomberg says his will “extend a lifeline to the boutique French manufacturer known for hulking 16-cylinder engines.”

Hulking engines in a sports car? What’s next, a hulking micro-chip in an Omega wrist-watch? Hulking microbes in a vaccine?
