I think the term McMansion came about becasue of the cartoon like quality that new large suburban homeswhere slathered on treeless subdivisions, so it looked like McDonalds could have cranked them out. It started mostly as an aesthetic critique which now has a social critic component becasue of the recession. Maybe 3000 sqft and above with 6-12 gables, plastic trim, and three car garages prominently displayed on the front.
