Missing UK slang noun sense?[edit]

There's a noun sense of this word that we are missing. It occurs in some modern colloquial varieties, perhaps London Multicultural English; it's been used with Ali G a lot, who might talk about the "London massive" (which I think is his gang or "crew" in London), or music DJs talking about a "jungle massive" (the scene of people who play and enjoy jungle music?).
