it goes like this. buttload x10 = assload x10 = crapload x10 = shitload x10 = fuckload. metric units are traditionally less, and between the said unit and the one before it.
The Shitload first became common usage during World War II. Farmers, who's sheds were previously full of shit were called upon to empty their shit-filled barns in order to allow for the making of weapons.
A Shitload refers to between 1 and 4 tons of equine or bovine excrement (that's horse and cowshit to you and me). More specifically Shitload describe the overfullness of the trailers used by farmers.
Shmekie629(5:37:09)PM:How much homework is a 'shitload' of homework? Too many people use this term, and no one knows how much it is. I myself have a lot of homework tonight. Possibly a shitload. But is it a shitload? Maybe it's a metric shitload. Maybe a crapload. I just don't know.
reiggnhardt (6:56:16 PM): a shitload of homework is when you have so much that your teachers own you enough as to where they actually do shit on your homework and expect you to do it
bad ass bitz (5:51:27 PM): or maybe any amount of hw is a shitload, because it's way the fuck more than i want to do
The approximate amount of something that can fit into an asshole. If referring to money, it is equal to the volume, in cubic centimeters, of a medium-size butthole.
