metric buttload
n.— «It may be the late 15th century, but the Spanish have a ton of street cred. They are also going to have a metric buttload of treasure, because Hispaniola is founded right on a tobacco resource and adjacent to some gems. At the end of the game, I’ll have my jewelers make me a fancy victory ring.» —“Civilization III: Conquests; Queen Tom versus El Bruce” Computer Gaming World (U.S.) May 1, 2004.
