of epic proportions

1. Extremely large and powerful in scale. Meteorologists have been predicting that the hurricane will be a disaster of epic proportions for us because we're so close to the coast.

2. To an extreme or incredible degree. Oh, my attempt to ask Addison to the dance was a failure of epic proportions—I could only squeak out a few incoherent words before turning completely red and running away. The film will be an adventure of epic proportions for viewers of all ages!
