losing count
Too many now
Losing count means failing to keep track of a number or quantity, typically because there are too many items or the counting process was interrupted.
The phrase implies that someone started counting but the task became impossible to complete accurately.
It often suggests abundance or repetition: I've lost count of how many times I've seen that movie.
The expression can carry a note of exasperation or, conversely, pleased amazement at quantity.
