: : Wondering what the origin is for; that's a "butt load."

: Buttload
: A relative unit of measure. Unlike units such as meters which can be quantified as to how far a photon travels in a vacuum in 1/299,792,458 of a second, the relative unit of measure will vary from person to person based on their diet. The scale looks something like this.

: * Buttload - A pantload and a half. An amount beyond containment.
: * Pantload - Two complete ****loads, equivalent to 2694 raises or 898 squats
: * ****load - A very large quantity, equivalent to 1347 raises or 449 squats
: * Little - in fact the difference between little and damned little is too little to justify this space.
: * Damned Little - two squats, or five pittances, or 6 raises
: * Squat - Two and a half pittances, or three raises.
: * Pittance - a bit more than "You call this a raise?" but not much more.
: * You call this a Raise? - not worth mentioning at all.

There's a euphemistic version of buttload, called "boatload". A few years ago Chevy ran a TV commercial that bragged about "a boatload o' know-how" that made their trucks better than the others.
