How it's used
Focuses specifically on cylindrical or rod-like objects that are disproportionately thick or substantial. It is often used to emphasize that something is not just long, but also impressively wide in diameter. The term carries a slightly informal, descriptive flair that makes it more vivid than simply saying 好粗.
Examples
He bought a huge aromatherapy stick back home.
How are we going to move that huge log?

Common phrases
huge log
huge cannon (or metaphorically, a very loud/big firework)
Common mistake
Avoid using this for objects that are wide but flat, such as a large piece of paper or a wide board. It is strictly reserved for items with a circular cross-section, like pipes, logs, or large candles.
