Can confirm that 'cromulent' is in the Oxford English Dictionary [0] ...

>> Acceptable, adequate, satisfactory.

>> Frequently used humorously or ironically in recognition of its origin as an invented word in the television programme The Simpsons (see quot. 1996).

As is 'embiggen', namely 'transitive. To make bigger or greater, to enlarge.'
