[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}.
