“The Dems wanted Metric buttloads more money!”

Lol!

A new unit of measurement.


Actually, a very old one! (from Wikipedia:)

The butt is an obsolete English measure of liquid volume equalling two hogsheads, being between 450 and 1,060 litres (99 and 233 imp gal; 120 and 280 US gal) by various definitions.[1]
