Definitions
An old informal word with two senses: first, anything impressively large — a whopper, a real specimen of its kind, the sort of thing that makes you raise an eyebrow; second, something that literally bulges or protrudes outward. In its dated slang sense it was used admiringly, much the way 'whopper' or 'beast' are used today to describe something outsized and impressive. Both senses share the core idea of something going beyond the expected boundary.
He pulled a fish out of the river that was an absolute bulger — easily the biggest trout anyone in the village had ever seen.
