big enough to cast a shadow, dumb enough to lose to a kid with a slingshot
means A creature, person, or thing of enormous size — far larger than the ordinary kind.
from From Greek 'gigas' (plural 'gigantes'), the monstrous earth-born giants of myth who warred against the gods. It traveled through Latin 'gigas' into Old French 'geant,' then into English. The Greek word itself is of uncertain pre-Greek origin — possibly tied to 'Gaia,' the earth, since the Gigantes were said to be her children, though that link is more poetic than proven.
