Oh, neat, I was looking for a way to get amphetamines without a prescription.
JFK took a buttload* of amphetamines, but you wouldn't know it from his speech patterns.
* pretty sure that is the technical term.

He was truly a man of his err-ahh, err-ahh.
Oddly, growing up with 'everyone' having a 'water butt', a 'butt' was a big container full of water, only with the internet and the consequent invasion of Americanisms have I learned a 'butt' is a 'bottom'.
This has a direct analog in the office water cooler.
It is therefore also entirely appropriate to measure information of dubious provenance in terms of buttloads. That is easily extended to time spent on the Internet, for obvious reasons.
Assloads, on the other hand, refer to the use of donkeys as a pack animal, and would be more appropriate for non-pourable items, which could be balanced across the backside of the animal, or strapped on (to a pack saddle).
I am, sadly, unaware of the history behind the fuckton, or its metric equivalent.
