Do you say "butt-load" or "boat-load"? "Buck-naked" or "butt-naked"?

Was having a conversation today and someone said "boat-load". I've always heard "butt-load" or "arse-load" (which is another conversation altogether. How much can one fit in a butt? I'll have to ask your mom next time.)

And then it made me think of those radio-commercials for Illusions in Woodville.


"Butt-naked girls..."
Wait, does this mean only their butts were naked? Did they wear arse-less chaps? Footie pajamas with the butt flap ripped off? That would make for some weird boners.

I've always used "buck-naked". Because that's how much it costs to get your mom that way.

Then I thought about this

Then I got to thinking, is it "ship-load" (which actually makes sense, since boats generally don't hold all that much cargo.) or "shite-load"?

How much is in a "frick-load"?

Someone should make a chart.


ETA:just recalled that certain barrels used for shipping were called butts. So maybe that's where the term came from.

In fact, that's why we call a pork shoulder a "Boston Butt". Because they were shipped in butts.
