buttloads
Lots and lots
Buttloads is an informal, mildly vulgar way of saying a large amount: We've got buttloads of leftovers.
The word sounds crude but is generally inoffensive—butt here suggests a large container (like a wine butt) as much as anatomy.
The singular buttload works the same way: That's a buttload of money.
