biggity

Meaning

Adjective

• Conceited, uppity.

Origin

• Apparently from big + --y, a suffix used to form adjectives meaning “having the quality of”, with an arbitrary middle syllable; compare uppity. Alternately, perhaps from big + --ety, a suffix used to extend monosyllabic words; compare hot diggety, hippity-hop. Attested in the Southern United States since the late nineteenth century.
