I thought we just went over all this in excruciating detail. "Mega" as in "Megastore",
"Megabucks" and so forth as opposed to "Mega" in "Megahertz" (which would
mean "million" in that particular example) - indicating "larger-than-large" and
"greater-than-great" (at least in overblown Madison Avenue ad-jargon).

Not surprisingly, the "M" in "MASA" stands for (wait for it!)....."Megakat".

(which also seems to be fairly familiar ground...)
