bucketload
A whole lot
A bucketload is a large quantity or amount of something: We've got a bucketload of work to finish before Friday.
The term is informal and emphasizes abundance without precision—nobody measures in actual buckets.
Often appears in the plural: They made bucketloads of money on that deal.
