>I’ve just gone through a butt load of resumes

Perhaps she said "bulk load of resumes" and you misheard it as the funnier version?



Nope, this is a common expression.

If someone's feeling especially playful, they might ask if it's a metric or imperial buttload. An imperial buttload would be loosely based on the idealized/claimed size of some prominent arse in the past, while a metric buttload implies the existence of a platinum-iridium reference derriere.


Related to the shit ton and metric shit ton.


Another quantity is "an ass-load, and I wouldn't be surprised if that came first and then butt-load is the toned-down version.

Why, my good poster, there's nothing funny about 48 bushels in my butt (i.e. towed cart).

Boat load?
