25. Apologies for mixing up 'э' and 'з', but the meaning still seems to be 'awesome'

(there isn't a double 'о', though).

A dictionary with examples seems to show it can be used for a situation being 'really good': http://dictionary.reverso.net/russian-english/%D0%B7%D0%B4%D0%BE%D1%80%D0%BE%D0%B2%D0%BE/forced

Wiktionary says it's also the short neuter singular (is that right for 'America'?) of здоро́вый , for which it gives
healthy, sound
strong, robust
wholesome, salubrious
big, large

If that makes it the adjective for 'bigly', it seems quite an appropriate choice.
