Me: by the way, woke up vegetarian this morning. Don't know if it'll last, but today I care about it. We'll see if I care about it tomorrow. *smooch*

Him: okie dokie. We currently have one block of tofu.

Me: And about a metric butt ton of beans. :-)

Him: You know how the PeeChee folders used to have weights and measures charts: 3 tsp = 1 tbsp, 8 oz = cup?

We need one of those, so I know how many shit loads there are in a butt load, etc: 2 shit loads = 1 butt load

Now that I know there's a difference, I also need metric to English conversions: 1.2 butt loads = 1 metric butt ton

Another data point

[baxil.livejournal.com]

In common usage over here, a metric fuckload is bigger than a regular fuckload by an undefined but specific geometric (=multiplicative) factor.

If there's a fuckload of stuff in the car, you go help your friend bring it in. If there's a metric fuckload, you call out all the roommates for aid.
