It's a word, just not the right word. Which makes the user sound like an idiot who wants to use a big word but doesn't actually know what it means . . .
intercontinental
1 : extending among continents or carried on between continents
2 : capable of traveling between continents <intercontinental ballistic missile>
Maybe he was calling him a fattie, like he was extending from Europe into Africa or Asia, or from North America to South America.
On a related note, sorta, is it really possible to fly a bombing mission from the US to Europe without landing? I mean from the central part of the US to Eastern Europe, eg Bosnia.
