and counting
Number keeps rising
Used after a number to indicate that the total continues to grow: fifteen years and counting, a million downloads and counting.
The phrase emphasizes ongoing accumulation or duration, often with pride or exasperation.
It implies the count isn't finished—expect the number to rise.
