metric shitload
Ridiculously vast quantity
A metric shitload is an extremely large quantity—more emphatic than a mere shitload.
The pseudo-scientific "metric" adds mock precision to the vulgarity, as if shitloads were a measurable unit: We've got a metric shitload of work to do.
The joke lies in applying technical language to something inherently imprecise and crude.
