Morphology
mahoosive + grin
The phrase is a straightforward adjective + noun combination: if a learner knows 'mahoosive' as an informal emphatic meaning 'very large' and 'grin' as a broad smile, the overall meaning ('an extremely large/wide smile') follows directly. Although 'mahoosive' is colloquial and may be unfamiliar or absent from some dictionaries, the compositional pattern is transparent.
Etymology
Mahoosive grin comes from the playful slang mahoosive, a stretched way to say 'massive', joined with grin. Picture a smile so wide it fills the face, and that's why it means 'an extremely large or wide smile'.
