A shedload is a lot of something — a huge amount. British, informal, a bit . People often say shedloads of: shedloads of work, shedloads of money, shedloads of time. It feels like a softer cousin of ruder words for “a huge amount”; you can say it in mixed company without quite swearing. Younger speakers use it in chat and emails; you would not put it in a careful essay or a job letter. Though actually, nobody is counting how much fits in a garden shed. The shed is just there to make the “load” sound big.
超多;一大堆(英式口語,語氣比髒話委婉)。
組成shed + load. It may also be a milder twist on shitload, which sounds close (same beat, similar consonants, a softer vowel in the first part).
