A lot of people use the words ''zillion'' and ''gazillion'' to decribe a number, but actually there's no real number that is named ''zillion'' and ''gazillion''.

They're used to refer to very large numbers but not in an exact sense. It's a bit lit "umpteen".

For the umpteenth time I've told you a zillion times already.

"... a bit like ..." not "... a bit lit ..."

K, so what about bazillion and megagazillion? You mean they're not real numbers either?

You'll be telling us next there's no such thing as a doobry.

Greetings, chaps:
No, bazillion and megagazillion aren't real numbers.
These are the names of actual "large numbers":
Million, billion, trillion, quadrillion, quintillion, sextillion, septillion, octillion, nonillion, decillion, undecillion, duodecillion...googol, googolplex.

Maybe the number "zillion" could be defined as 10 to the power of googolplex. Don't you think we need to start making numbers larger than a googolplex? ;-)
