      That’s probably what it is. That’s usually what cops (ACAB) mean when they say stuff like ten gajillion images.

      Back in the early 90s tv Presenters and teachers used to talk about computer discs in terms of how many phone books you could store on them.

      For example: “This “multimedia pc” has a massive 340 mb hard drive, which can hold as much information as 500 phone books!”

      It’s probably an attempt to do something similar.
