metric shitload
Where it comes from
Jocular extension of shitload (“a very large amount”), absurdly treating it as a unit of measurement (which could have a metric counterpart). Regarding the synonymous phrases a shitload of and a ton of, the coordination of ton versus metric ton is most likely the precedent by which shitload versus metric shitload was jocularly inspired; compare also metric fuckton.
noun metric shitloads
-
A very large number or amount.
Me, I spent it fantasizing about the future, airbrushing an old dream that had only required a metric shitload of cash.
Similar: metric fuckton, metric shitton, abundance, battalion, arseload, assload, bellyload, boatload, brimful, busload, bucketful, bucketload
