Not the first mention of the measurement but definitely the first one on TV was on Blazing Saddles.
I made a quick search and there wasn't a definitive explanation of how much a shitload was.
On Odie's blog, 'Woodsterman' he delves into the problem in more depth.

ReplyDeleteShitload ... Load of shit, either is correct, yes ma'am.
DeleteIt has been said a million cunt hairs is approximately one shitload. Pardon my language. I grew up on the likes of Blazing Saddles, Archie Bunker, The Jerk, and of course Red Foxx.
ReplyDeleteI grew up with those guys too. You never heard anyone on Blazing Saddles, Archie Bunker, The Jerk, or even Redd Foxx, I don't believe, use the c-word. Redd Foxx may be the exception.
