Wow. Is that more than a gazzilion?

🤔 I had no idea what 'gazzillion' meant, so I had to look it up.
gazillion, number, informal UK /ɡəˈzɪl.jən/ US /ɡəˈzɪl.jən/a very large, but not an exact, number:
- If you look online, you’ll find a gazillion recipes for chicken.
- He has sold a gazillion records and won enough awards to fill a museum.
- I'll be watching the Super Bowl tonight, just like gazillions of other Americans.
