In Back to the Future Part III, Doc says a word that starts 'google', meaning a very large number. But no such thing is in my dictionary. I must watch it again with the subtitles on.

google = 1 followed by 100 zeros
googleplex = 1 followed by a google zeros

That's it - a googleplex. Now why is that not in my Collins dictionary? It is surely an excellent word for scrabble and playground showing off?

google not in Collins dictionary is surprising. but googleplex is a rubbish word so fair on that. i remember coming across it as a kid and thinking it was rubbish then.

― mark s (mark s), Thursday, 9 January 2003 13:54 (twenty-three years ago)

Ahh - it's supposed to be spelled googol, except by Douglas Adams.

Googleplex = A very, very big cinema which nevertheless is still showing Harry Potter and Lord Of The Rings one 70% of its screens.

― Pete (Pete), Thursday, 9 January 2003 14:06 (twenty-three years ago)

Only 70%? IT'S NOT ENOUGH.
