The other week I was reading a book that used the word _multimegaline_—from [_multi-_](http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/multi-#Prefix) and [_mega-_](http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/mega-#Prefix) and [_line_](http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/line#Noun), referring to software projects composed of many millions of lines of source code. But I prefer to believe that the last syllable rhymes with _keen_ and that the word is [good for anything](http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/-ine#Suffix) really big.
