expressions - Idiom for 'lots of people'?



I think there was an idiom to describe 'lots of people', and the expression was related to truck... like tons of truck? or loaded by truck? I can't remember what it was. Does anybody know? If there is no such thing, is there any idiom to describe lots of people that will make a long line or that will fill all the big trucks?


Answer



You're probably thinking of the word truckload:




3 : a large amount - truckloads of money





merriam-webster.com



It's used in far more situations than to describe people, but "a truckload of people" is an acceptable usage.
