Also means
overwhelming
Usage Note
Aplastante literally means 'crushing' (from aplastar, to flatten), but it is nearly always used figuratively: una mayoría aplastante (a crushing majority), una victoria aplastante (an overwhelming victory). It is a strong intensifier in political and sports commentary and does not change form for gender (only for number: aplastantes).
Examples
"Ganaron con una ventaja aplastante."
Natural Translation
They won with a crushing advantage.
