This phenomenon has been called a hypernova, playing on the name of the supernova

It's the same word, the same root. super = ekshyper, Gr., above.

If they want to play the great, monster, giant, excessively huge word game, they could go to international standard --IS-- prefices, all of whch are Greek. Excessivly huge would be exanova. Beyond that would be zetanova, 1000 times more impressive than an exanova, or yottanova, 1000 times more impressive than zetanova. If they need to exaggerate further, there is the Arabic language waiting in the wings.

..or yottanova, 1000 times more impressive than zetanova...

Yet, even these are subservient to the bossa nova!
