Recently on a date with a non-tech person I described my company as "not likely to be a billion dollar company, but a good one nonetheless." She was shocked that I would even mention the b-word. I need to get out more. :-)
Not to burst your bubble, but from the standpoint of pure probability it's not likely to be a million dollar idea either. However, I don't know anything about you or your company so maybe you've beaten the odds and your company is on track to having an arms-length valuation greater than a million dollars already.

In tech (especially SF bubble) we forget billion dollars is lot of money.

I agree completely. My point is that when I'm talking to entrepreneur types this sort of talk is shorthand for how I describe the company's potential.
