Infinite

(proper name) The stage name used by some unknown jackal whose real name we've yet to figure out. Appears as the main villain in the 2017 video game Sonic Forces. Channels a stone fused onto his bust called the Phantom Ruby to create fake, virtual reality clones of your friends. Wears a mask to conceal his true identity, while simultaneously inadvertently revealing his hopeless insecurity from failing to defeat Shadow the Hedgehog once or twice. Thinks very highly of himself and looks down on literally everyone else. Doesn't have the courtesy to finish you off after maiming you once. May secretly be a huge fan of Linkin Park. May or may not have perished in the end of Sonic Forces.

You may call me Infinite in the brief moments that remain to you.

infinition

infinition (definition + infinitity) ร an infinite process of defining something that cannot be fully or precisely defined; an endless list of possible definitions.

Certain fluid concepts in their emergent state are subject to in-finition--infinite dispersal of their meaning--rather than to definition. To infine is to suggest the infinity of possible definitions of a certain term or concept and therefore to problematize its meaning and the possibility or the benefit of defining it. If definition circumscribes a specific conceptual area, then infinition releases the concept from restricting demarcations and places it in an indeterminate zone. For example, Jacques Derrida never defines his method of deconstruction but only infines it in numerous passages. Infinition is for the humanities what for mathematics is a transcendental number with its "infinite decimal expansion" expressed by a non-periodic decimal fraction: an endless approximation to and escape from a discrete definition.

Infinite

A word mentioned in the book "The Perks of Being a Wallflower"...When the main character uses the word he means: The feeling of happiness.. like every bad thought is cleared from your mind and you could go on with that moment.. forever.

When him and his 2 best friends are driving in the car listening to meaningful songs they all felt "infinite".

infinite

The Hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy offers this definition of the word "infinite"
Infinite: Bigger than the biggest thing ever and then some. Much bigger than that in fact, really amazingly immense, a totally stunning size, real "wow, that's big," time. Infinity is just so bigh that, by comparison, bigness itself looks really titchy. Gigantic multiplied by colossal multiplied by staggeringly huge is the sort of concept we're trying to get across here.

"It is impossible to import things into an infinite area, there being no outside to import things in from.
