There is also the group of Virtucons who use gagillion, fafillion, shabolubalu million illion yillion, when describing lasers.
I believe this was first described in a movie with Mr. Myers.

In the Netherlands (and most of Europe), you would write one thousand million watts as 1.000 megawatts.
The decimal indicator in Europe is a comma. For example, 1,5 means one and a half 1.000.000 means one million.
