Nope, it's a word. It's the spelled-out term for the number 999. It's weird because you have to say "99" as "nine and ninety" in German (all double digit numbers are like this, actually). If that seems kinda long for a word, that isn't so bad-- not when our accountant has the title "Wirthschaftsprufungsgesellschaft Steuerberatungsgellschaft" on her business card. But numbers are easy enough, in that they have a very logical pattern/system with no deviation once you get to the number 20-- it's a breeze after that. Doesn't that image look familiar? It's a still from the classic "Mahna Mahna" song from Sesame Street/Muppet Show. Click here to see the video in all its glory.
