squillion
Absurdly large number
Squillion is a playful, made-up number meaning an absurdly large quantity—like million or billion but deliberately vague and exaggerated: I've told you a squillion times.
It's informal and humorous, used when the actual number doesn't matter, only the sense of overwhelming abundance.
British English favors squillion; Americans more often reach for gazillion or bajillion.
