(Not really sure how Brobdingnagian relates to byte-order?)

Brobdingnagian was first used in Jonathan Swift's 1726 year satirical book, " Gulliver's Travels " , and it was the name of the land of giants of the book. It later became a word to describe something massive, gigantic, FUCKING HUGE, etc, etc. So I was using the word to describe your whoppers.

Yes, thank-you, I am aware of these facts.  It’s not your response that I don’t understand—it’s BacE’s response of “Endianness” to “Brobdingnagian”.  Since Endianness relates to byte order, what does that have to do with something massive?  In any case, his response (however puzzling to me) then brought on my response...

The connection is that in Gulliver's Travels, the two ethnic groups were heavily divided on how to eat a boiled egg: those who cracked the larger end of it, and those who cracked the smaller end of it. The Big-Endians and the Little-Endians.
