Hello.
Could you help me please?
quoted sentence:
There lived millions upon millions of poor and tired human beings.
I've known "millions of",but what's "millions upon millions of"?
I guess it is another form of "millions of millions of",right?

Thanks,and is it commonly used in daily life? Or dated and old-fashioned?
