Cromulent has taken on an ironic meaning, to say that something is not at all legitimate and in fact spurious.
Indeed the DVD commentary for "Lisa the Iconoclast" makes a point of reinforcing that "embiggen" and "cromulent" are completely made up by the writers and have since taken on a life of their own via the Internet and other media.

Cromulent words are proactive paradigms to embiggen our understanding
In both cases 'paradigm' is used where a more cromulent word would immediately reveal the vacuity of the ideas being presented.
The p-word is used in place of: analogy, conceptual framework, example, symbol, pattern, metaphor, method, model, simulation etc. 'Paradigm' causes especial confusion where it starts with one meaning and then ends up with another.

 HeiDeas: Beyond embiggens and cromulent
Well, if I want something done well, I usually try not to do it myself, but I’ve been keeping a list off and on, and thought this might be a good place to share it.
It doesn’t include the timeless classics embiggens and cromulent — see this Linguist List post for discussion of them — and it doesn’t include Bart’s prank calls to Moe, although they are relevant for their phonological and phonotactic properties, because they’re already well-documented.
This list begins with the examples from my original post (also on Beatrice Santorini’s excellent linguistic humor web page), and then goes on to the ones I’ve collected since.
