The New Hacker's Dictionary
infinite
[common] Consisting of a large number of objects; extreme. Used very loosely as in: “This program produces infinite garbage.” “He is an infinite loser.” The word most likely to follow infinite, though, is hair. (It has been pointed out that fractals are an excellent example of infinite hair.) These uses are abuses of the word's mathematical meaning. The term semi-infinite, denoting an immoderately large amount of some resource, is also heard. “This compiler is taking a semi-infinite amount of time to optimize my program.” See also semi.

Examples of infinite in a Sentence
There is no sense in asking of a creativity whether it is finite or infinite, except in relation to some minds.
Leo Szilard, "A Random Walk in Science" compiled by R. L. Weber, edited by E. Mendoza:
You may assume infinite ignorance and unlimited intelligence.
Infinite hungers leap no more I in the chance swaying of your dress; and love has changed to kindliness.
When I consider the small span of my life absorbed in the eternity of all time, or the small part of space which I can touch or see engulfed by the infinite immensity of spaces that I know not and that know me not, I am frightened and astonished to see myself here instead of there... now instead of then.
Once the realization is accepted that even between the closest human beings infinite distances continue to exist, a wonderful living side by side can grow up, if they succeed in loving the distance between them which makes it possible for each to see each other whole against the sky.
