Meaning of "zilla" in English

The word "zilla" is commonly used as a suffix or colloquially in American English to indicate something very large or powerful, often humorously exaggerating the size or scope of a noun. It originates from the monster Godzilla of Japanese films, symbolizing overwhelming strength or size. When added to another word, it turns the original meaning hyperbolic, suggesting an extreme or exaggerated version of something, like “fashionzilla” for someone obsessively interested in fashion.
