If I'm in a buttload of pain, I need a buttload of pills.
— House M.D. • 2004

What it means
Our interpretation.
House argues that a lot of pain calls for a lot of pills. The made-up unit 'buttload' gives it a blunt comic ring. It's his brash way of demanding what he wants, dressed up as simple logic.
