Brillig is a Word created by Lewis Carroll for his poem Jabberwocky. He defined it as "four o'clock in the afternoon -- the time when you begin broiling things for dinner."

But the Words in Jabberwocky are fluid - for some of them Carroll changed the definition and some aren't defined at all. What really matters is what the Word means to you, as a reader - if you want the Word 'brillig' to be a synonym of 'enough', then it is.

When I use a Word,' Humpty Dumpty said in rather a scornful tone, it means just what I choose it to mean -- neither more nor less.'
