Okay, so I'm wrong.
"Mondo" has nothing to do with hugeness, largeness, or enormity. Instead, it means this:
"...used in reference to something very striking or remarkable of its kind; often in conjunction with a pseudo-Italian noun or adjective...mondo weirdo."
It's from the title of a 1961 Italian movie, Mondo Kane, which depicted bizarre behavior.
On second thought, maybe that word still works...
