Heckuva

A term of praise loaded with unintentional irony, used to sound supportive but in fact revealing how bad a situation is. Immortalized by President George W. Bush when refering to the handling of the Katrina disaster by ex-FEMA director Michael "brownie" Brown, he also used it to describe the hurricane-ravaged remains of New Orleans. In both instances, you could cut the irony with a spoon.

Brownie, you're doing a heckuva job.
- George W. Bush, 9/2/2005

(New Orleans is) a heckuva place to bring your family.
- George W. Bush, 1/12/2006

a whole heckuva lotta bit

As opposed to 'a little bit', 'a lotta bit', and 'a whole lotta bit', "A WHOLE HECKUVA LOTTA BIT" expands the value of a specified term to an even greater extent than the three previous terms.

Ricardo: How much you miss that trick, a little bit?
Johnson: Nah B.
Ricardo: A lotta bit?
Johnson: Son, No.
Timothy: Negro, he miss her a whole heckuva lotta bit.
