Straight from urban dictionary:

A shit ton is defined literally as 20 hundredshits, where one hundredshit equals 112 shits in the Imperial System (long or gross hundredshit) and 100 shits in the U.S. System (short or net hundredshit). Furthermore, a shit-ton-force refers to 2,000 shit forces, which is a hell of a lot (i.e. a shit-ton) of Newtons.

Like a metric assload, a metric shit ton is exactly 204.62262 pounds more than a shit ton.

Metric shit tons are more than shit tons, and there is a detailed description of the shit ton there.
