Shit-ton (shit ton), while it sounds like a measure of weight, is actually a measure of area. The area is determined by the volume that one long ton (2240 lbs.) of sand occupies (approx. 22.46 cu/ft). Therefore this volume of something like....graphene aerogel, the lightest material known, a shit ton would only weigh 0.2243 lbs (about 1/3rd of a can of Coke). Comparing this to osmium, the heaviest known material, which weights in at a whopping 31,488.92 lbs per shit ton! A shit ton of human waste (poop) would actually only come in at about 1680.247 lbs, about 75% the weight of a long ton.
The shit-ton of graphene aerogel was substantially easier to move than the shit ton of osmium.
A generally recognized term to mean a lot, but recognized hyperbolically by some to mean 80.
