Today I found out...

A butt load is an actual unit of measure. There are two different definitions... one dealing with a heavy cart and the other a wine cask. --

1) (obsolete, UK, West Country) A regional English measure of capacity of a heavy cart (a butt), containing 6 seams, or 48 bushels, equivalent to 384 gallons.

2) A butt is a cask that holds liquids, like a barrel. It could contain anywhere from 108 to 140 gallons (409 to 530 liters), which is indeed a lot. But it's probably not the origin of "buttload," as there don't seem to be any connections between a medieval barrel in Britain and the use of the term in late 20th-century America.

You will really blow my mind if you can give the weights and measures definition of "shitload".

Plenty of definition can be found on Redit

https://www.reddit.com/r/shittyaskscience/comments/1cmrcl/how_many_shitloads_are_in_a_fuckton/

-------------------------------
I have had extensive debate on this. Its a logarithmic scale.

buttload * 10 = 1 butt ton

butt ton * 10 = 1 assload

assload * 10 = 1 asston

asston * 10 = 1 shitload

shitload * 10 = 1 shitton

shitton * 10 = 1 fuckload

fuckload * 10 = 1 fuckton

so to awnser your initial question 1 fuckton = 10³ shitloads = 10⁷ buttloads

refer to other comments for metric conversion

I think we should standardize on a zero space policy. Make sure people truly mean buttton and not merely button when they turn to this system of units.

[COB]

Is that for a standard or metric fuckton?

The History of Jack Schitt

---

Jack Schitt is the son of AWE SCHITT and OH SCHITT. Awe Schitt, the fertilizer magnate, married Oh Schitt, the owner of the Kneedeep Schitt Inn. Jack Schitt married Noe Schitt and they produced six children.
Holy Schitt, their first passed on shortly after childbirth. Next came twin sons, Deep Schitt and Dip Schitt, Two daughters, Fulla Schitt and Giva Schitt, and another son, Bull Schitt. Deep Schitt married Dumb Schitt, a high school dropout. Dip Schitt married Lotta Schitt and they have a son named Chicken Schitt. Fulla Schitt and Giva Schitt married the Happens brothers. The Schitt-Happens children are Dawg Schitt, Byrd Schitt and Horace Schitt.
Bull Schitt just married a spicy little number named Pisa Schitt and they are awaiting the arrival of Baby Schitt.
Now you can proudly proclaim, "I know the true story of Jack Schitt!"

Those weird rubber hairs on your new tires are called "vent spews."





They are called 'vent spews', a weird name for something extremely common. Other names include sprue nubs, tyre nibs, gate marks or nippers. The hairs actually play a vital role in the tyre manufacturing process. To understand why, you first need to know a thing or two about how tyres are made.

I work at a tire plant. We call them nibs.
