Could be used to describe a dog: huge, enormous, tremendous, immense, whopping Could be used to describe a woman (and still be fairly polite): huge, (and less polite): enormous, tremendous Could be used to describe a building: huge, enormous, tremendous, immense Could be used to describe a salary: huge, enormous, tremendous, prodigious, whopping Could be used to describe a mountain: huge, enormous, tremendous, vast, immense I only use "great" for reputation (great leader) or adverb (great big). "Whopping" is informal.

Huge and Enormous are synonymous words and can be used as same. It depend what you are trying to say. But most of people would understand what you are trying to say. If you have any questions you can skype me at cesar.kha1. Cesar.
