- Thirty-seven is just my personal, all-purpose number of choice to represent an unknown value somewhere between "more than just a few" and "a skajillion".
skajillion
adjective; blending
An extremely large number Reason used: The word was used to refer to a nonspecific large number. The word was formed in a similar way to how other words for large numbers have been formed. “Billion”, ‘trillion”, and “quadrillion” are good examples of other words formed in this way. As the numbers get larger, they are spoken of much less often and their names become more obscure. The use of the nonsensical morpheme “skaj” refers to this widespread lack of knowledge of the official names for these numbers. The word refers to a number so large that its name is either not commonly known or entirely non-existent.
Etymology : Blend from “skaj” (nonsensical) + “million”
