zillion

Hyperbolic huge quantity

Zillion is an indefinitely large number, used for comic or emphatic effect rather than mathematical precision: I've told you a zillion times.

Like its cousins bazillion and gazillion, it follows the pattern of actual large numbers (million, billion, trillion) while signaling exaggeration.

The adjective zillionth works similarly: For the zillionth time, clean your room.
