  no really, billion has different meaning around the world. personally I’m a fan of gigabucks, way shorter to say than “billions of dollars”

    In France, they use "milliard" for billions.

  Have you genuinely never seen people refer to, say, $10k to mean ten thousand dollars? It's very common.
