A buttload in modern slang just means "a large amount," but surprisingly, it is also actually a real unit of measure that has fallen out of favor for perhaps obvious reasons. :)
A butt (from Middle English bote) is equal to two hogsheads, but hogsheads vary according to the contents. In the United States a hogshead is typically 63 gallons and a butt is 126 gallons.
Some sources say that the difference in size of a butt depends on where you live (gallons vs imperial gallons). In Scotland, a butt is 108 Imperial gallons, and a hogshead is 54 gallons.
Other sources say that a butt was 126 gallons if wine, and 108 if ale, which would go along with the varying-hogshead size explanation.
It depends on who you talk to when translating "butt" into "buttload" however. Some say that a filled butt is a buttload. Others, that a wagon filled with butts would be a buttload. I favor the wagon explanation myself, but I really don't know if there is a difference. How many giant 126-gallon casks can you really fit in a wagon anyway?

No, you would not be. According to the frathousemetric system, only eating a sh*tload and upwards (e.g. a sh*t ton, a f**kload) will get you sick, but a buttload and under (e.g. a grip, a load) will just make you tired for a while.Remember, the frathousemetric system does not apply to some things, such as hot sauce, syrup, or saltines. These are only subject to Broseph's relativity theory.
