crapton

Way too much

A crapton is a large but unspecified quantity—more than a lot, less than infinity.

The word is vulgar slang, a blend of crap and ton that emphasizes abundance through crude exaggeration: I have a crapton of work to do, There were a crapton of people at the concert.

Variant spellings include crap-ton and crap ton.
