Definitions
Macky is Bristol and West Country slang for 'large' or 'big' — as in genuinely impressive in size. If something is macky, it's not just big, it's notably, noticeably oversized. Bristolians have a long tradition of colorful regional vocabulary and macky fits right in, giving you a fun alternative to 'massive' or 'huge'. You might hear it describing a portion of chips, a crowd at a gig, or anything else that's bigger than expected.
They showed up with a macky bag of chips and we didn't even need to order anything else.
