Definition
巨无霸 originally referred to a giant or an invincible person, from the name of a legendary giant in Chinese history. In modern usage, it is also the Chinese name for McDonald's Big Mac burger. The two senses are distinct: one describes something huge or unbeatable, the other is a trademarked food item.
