When I saw the subject line I thought it was going to be about a word that meant "ten to the tenth."

That's the meaning that gets the most google hits. Clearly, the "centrillions" that oftroy heard was not connected with the school films, since they were about St. Trinian's.

Oh, no but it was connected to the film and school--
i might have misheard, (and the character said "centrinians" not centrilions. but it sure wasn't said as i would say St trinians.
--like wise to day i was in Hempstead. (here in NY, and on LI), that is HEMP stead.--hemp like the plant, stead like instead-) and St Trinians would be SAINT not syn (like syn-jon (ST John)and then Trinian-- and not cent-trinains. run together like one word.
i didn't recognize what was being said, and that compounded me hearing a mondegreen.
