I always thought the term McMansions was a play on the word McDonalds, and as such, a McDonalds burger is to REAL food as a McMansion is to a REAL Mansion . . so a McMansion is a wannabe mansion, without enough money to spend to make it a real mansion.
A desired style or not, real mansions can be flashy or subdued, tasteful or over the top, they have quality in the workmanship and design whether they are 5000 sf or 16000 sf. . . .
I disagree that all mansions are McMansions.
