Morphology

biggerer + than

Although 'biggerer' is a nonstandard, humorous formation and not a dictionary word, its meaning is transparently derived from the comparative pattern of 'big' (i.e. 'bigger') combined with 'than' to indicate comparison. A B1 learner who knows comparative morphology and the function of 'than' will readily infer it means 'more/bigger than', with a childish or emphatic nuance.

Etymology

Biggerer than comes from playful or childlike speech where people add an extra '-er' to bigger to make the idea of size sound larger and funny. That's why it is used to mean 'larger' or 'more' in a joking or exaggerated way.
