No.  But it should have been.

I couple of decades ago I realized, thanks to a colleague with a PhD, 
that "bazzilion", "ginormous", "teeny", etc., are all valid technical 
terms (meaning, in order, roughly, and in most contexcts, "so many that 
it's not cost effective to enumerate", "so big that it's not cost 
effective to consider the size", and "so small that it's not cost 
effective to consider the size").
