Noun
gorillion (plural gorillions)
- An unspecified large number (of).
- The sum of one million dollars seems more randomly absurd than unjust, piddling, or anything else you can come up with to describe a punishment for the Fiesta's corruption. It might as well have been one billion, or one gorillion dollars. The sum isn't important.2011, “THE BCS FINES THE FIESTA BOWL A GORILLION DOLLARS”, in Every Day Should Be Saturday, archived from the original on 02 Aug 2019
- It’s actually a quadrillion, although it could just as easily be a bazillion, a gorillion, a donkeykongillion or a shakazuluillion, because the number is so large that we really don’t even use it, especially when we’re talking about money.2012, “900 Trillion Dollars”, in Parker Live, archived from the original on 30 Jun 2022
