ad infinitum
Without any end
Ad infinitum means endlessly, without limit.
The Latin phrase appears in English when something continues or repeats beyond any reasonable stopping point: The meeting dragged on ad infinitum.
It often carries a tone of exasperation—things that go on ad infinitum probably shouldn't: He listed his grievances ad infinitum.
