I'll pay that and I like your reasoning

There's also 数十亿， don't mind 兆 because of it's vagueness

Getting away from the slangy feel, the largest I can find is:

古戈爾普勒克斯,

apart from 无穷大 I guess

I mean there are many more straight forward ones like 无数， but that doesn't have the corrupted/slangy feel that bajillion and gaziilion has. I think the closest would have to include the wan that you seem to be forbidding me. Like 上万， 成千上万， or better still involve 亿 so something like 数以亿计 would probably be my closest pick

Maybe there is no similarly constructed , but there is 数不胜数， 极大。 Dunno, you got something more in the same vein ?

Posted on: Numbers in Chinese

would have thought bajillion was as common as gazillion etc, can't think which I would have been more likely to say. Interestingly in these situations there is often a Briitsh or American leaning with one term or another, but can't see that pattern in our small poddie sample here.

Thanks Veronique. Strangely but luckily for me after it disappeared it reappeared sometime later then disappeared then reappeared and after a few cycles went right off radar not to be seen again. Luckily I managed to save a copy during its first reappearance and have now reposted it.
