metric (bad word)-load

noun. Somewhere between a bazillion and a metric poo-ton. Do I look like a mathematician? I'm only a lonely sailor, on a cold sea...

Real citation: "A really hoppy IPA must have a metric (bad word)-load of aphids in it. No extra charge for the meat boy…"

Made-up citation: "The temperature is a metric (bad word)-load below zero. My dog is huddled against the radiator. I just took a bath in hot coffee. What do I have to do to get warm, blow up my meth lab? I was saving that meth lab for a special occasion."
