Size and Logic
If (X, T ) is topologically mixing and has the big image and big preimage property, then (X, T ) is said to have the (relative) b.i.p.-property.
On random topological Markov chains with big images and preimages
There is ǫ′ > 0 such that if ℓ is big enough, T is a tower that covers more than 1− ǫ′ of the space, and |T | is big enough, then the probability that a random (T , ℓ, a)painting data ψ that induces a partition Q satisfies that h(T , Q) > log a − ǫ, is greater than 1 − ǫ.
Generating Product Systems
If either −(KX + S ) is big or the Claim 4.7.1 (cf. pair (X, S ) is not LC, then for a suitable G-invariant boundary D , the pair (X, D) is LC, the divisor −(KX + D) is nef and big, and the minimal locus V of log canonical singularities of (X, D) is non-empty and G-invariant.

He only sees a big salt pond,
O'er which his grain is going.

And all my swelling sins appear
Too big to be forgiv'n.
I runned some--an' runned again
When I met a man 'at led
A big cow 'at shooked her head.

And all my swelling sins appear
Too big to be forgiven.
