ButtLoad was offically assigned a quantity of 18 by the Avionics Technicians of VFA-147 while deployed to the Persian Gulf on the USS Nimitz in 1993. (It gets boreing at sea sometimes LOL)
Guys, we have 2Butt Loads (36) of gripes to work off tonite so turn off the movie.
A term used to define a finite sum of something. Generally accepted as an amount somewhere between a lot and a shit-ton. Often noted when speaking in hyperboly and used for extreme emphasis or exaggeration.
Smallest unit of measuring assignments or work. Equivalent to 1/10 a shitload but only 1/100 of a f***load and hardly equivalent to 1/1000 of a motherf***ingload.
However according to Lay-man's law of increasing marginal procrastination the magnitude of a buttload increases exponentially if there is a "due-date" factor.
For example if you have a midterm 2,500 word essay due in three months, one would say "I have a buttload of work,".
If it's due in two months, "Mein I have a shitload of work..." And one month "F*** I have a f***load of work!"
Then one night (give or take a few minutes before class) "WTF, I have a a motherf***ingload of work!!!"
But citing Lay-man's final principle of marginal procrastination- "terminal improbability" once all time has elapsed on the "due-date" and no acting impetus to initiate work has come about there is "utter finality" or "F*** this motherf***ing essay"
