  infinite
   adj.
     [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." See also
     semi.
