Definition
Extraordinarily strong; having immense strength.
colloquialdescriptions
How it's used
Often used in a slightly exaggerated or humorous tone to describe someone with immense physical power. It frequently appears in descriptions of comic book heroes or legendary figures rather than in everyday professional settings. While it implies great strength, it does not necessarily mean the person is muscular or athletic in appearance.
Examples
He has been extraordinarily strong since he was very small.
Who said he is strong as an ox?
Related words
Common phrases
a person who is extraordinarily strong
Common mistake
Avoid using this to describe someone who is simply fit or strong from working out, as it implies a superhuman or legendary level of power. It is an idiom, so it sounds unnatural if used in a casual sentence about someone lifting a heavy box at work.
