enthalpy

Attention whore/college student strives to make dumb word even dumber metric prefix.
Now the 20-year-old physics major at UC Davis uses "hella" often — and he's trying to get scientists from Boise to Beijing to do the same. Sendek, who was forced to use "hecka" as a child, has petitioned an international scientific body to make "hella" the name for the hitherto nameless, unimaginably huge, seldom-cited quantity of 10 to the 27th power — or 1 followed by 27 zeros.
News flash. Who the hell cares what the next big number is going to be next? If we could make this quantify soccer, it would all be complete.
