[common] Consisting of a large number of objects; extreme. Used
very loosely as in: This program produces infinite garbage.
He is an infinite loser.
The word most likely to follow
infinite, though, is
hair. (It has been pointed out that fractals are an
excellent example of infinite hair.) These uses are abuses of the word's
mathematical meaning. The term semi-infinite, denoting an immoderately large
amount of some resource, is also heard. This compiler is taking a
semi-infinite amount of time to optimize my program.
