not an actual unit of measurement, rather it is slang for the numerical value of 88. Thus while something can be a shitload of pounds that is not the proper definition, a shitload of apples would in fact be 88 apples, not 88 pounds of apples.

Comes from the days when donkeys were used to transport goods. The progression goes:
donkey load -> assload -> buttload -> shitload
It's quite simple.
donkey load -> assload -> buttload -> shitload
It's quite simple.

A load of mascerated shit held in a tank of a vessel. The load varies depending upon the size of the vessel. A recreational vessel will have a smaller shitload (20 G) than a commercial vessel (1000 G).

A large amount, so large in fact that it is riculous... like a load of shit would be riduculous (that is why the word is shitload and not something ordinary like people-load).
