bazillion
Impossibly large number
Bazillion is informal hyperbole for an extremely large, unspecified number: I've told you a bazillion times.
Like similar invented numbers—zillion, gazillion, jillion—it emphasizes vastness rather than precision.
The word is playful and casual, never used in serious contexts.
