bathtubful
One tub's capacity
A bathtubful is the amount that a bathtub can hold, used as an informal unit of measurement for large liquid volumes.
Like handful or bucketful, it conveys approximate quantity rather than precision.
The pipe burst and released a bathtubful of water into the basement.
The term appears most often in comparisons meant to make abstract quantities concrete.
