Exactly how much is a shit load?

[Bjornsdotter]

...is a shit load of onions the same as a shit load of money as far as quantity goes?

[Bullwinkle925]

1. I believe it is the combined weight of GWB, Dick Cheney and Karl Rove.

beyond that - I couldn't tell ya.

[Bjornsdotter]

11. That's a good one

2. It's the metric equivalent of

a buttload.

[Bjornsdotter]

12. Oooo good

....I'm good at the metric system.

3. Generally, more than an assload, but less than a fuckton.

Amounts vary.

The exact amount of a "shitload" varies widley between context and culture. Here is the breakdown:

Standard English Shitload = 1007
Metric Shitload = 1000
Baker's Shitload = 1008
Binary Shitload = 1024


of course there's the matter of how many shitloads in a buttload, or a fuckload:

Standard English: Fuckload = 4 Buttloads = 8 Shitloads
Metric: Fuckload = 10 Buttloads = 100 Shitloads
Baker's: Fuckload = 5 Buttloads = 9 Shitloads
Binary: Fuckload = 1024 Buttloads = 1048576 Shitloads

4. However much it takes to fill the seat of your pants.

That is the textbook definition.:toast:

[Bjornsdotter]

16. So then it's relative

23. I am always wary...

of people who say they have a shitload of anything. I can't help but wonder where it's been. ;)

[Bjornsdotter]

27. Why that's

...deep :rofl:


:hi:

[KitchenWitch]

5. I think it is one third of a fuck ton.

[Bucky]

9. In England they call it a 'Benetton"

And it comes off a little more sanctimonious.

[KitchenWitch]

10. I want a DNA test

No way those two could have parented that child!

:rofl:

[Bucky]

6. It's heavier than a crapload, but with less density.

You can carry a shitload in the bed of a pick up, but for a crapload you need a forklift.

[Bjornsdotter]

20. Nice distinction

...that's easy to remember.

Cheers :toast:

13. about 4.5 pantloads

25. Hmmm

Cheers :toast:

[KitchenWitch]

15. Another question

How many shitbricks make up a fuck ton?

[deucemagnet]

17. English fuck tonne or metric fuck ton? n/t

[KitchenWitch]

19. Metric, of course!

[Bjornsdotter]

18. So then

....a brick shithouse would be made of shitbricks?

Fuckton is a new one for me, I'm still learning....anyone know?

•Carload

•Boatload

•Truckload

•Trainload

•Shitload

•Buttload

•Pantload

•Assload

•Fuckload





Why can't we just standardize?!? :banghead:

[Bjornsdotter]

28. Somehow, this has the scent of another "kudzu" thread

Well done.

:rofl:

(Using the ROFL smilie only 'cause there ain't no Shit Eatin' Grin smilie that I know of...)

[Bjornsdotter]

29. Be still my heart

...I could never aspire to achieve the greatness of the "kudzu" thread.

That would have been a great smilie....and if anyone has one it will someone in the Lounge Area.

Cheers :toast:
