This is an interesting word and not as popular
as it used to be. It has many definitions, but Whopping and
Wopping are two different words, often misused. Wopping is a bit
more slang and I will skip that definition.
Whopping is the act of physically beating a person until they
can no longer stand. It is also a heavy blow or the sound made
by such a blow.
Examples: Planned spending amounts to a whopping fifty billion
dollars,
Footballers in whopping studded boots approach the field,
A 100g portion gives a whopping ten teaspoons of sugar.
Incidentally, I enjoy spending a whopping amount of time
putting this stuff together for your reading pleasure.
