Which would make it 10 Troy Fuck-Tons. Yes, Troy Tons exist: like Troy Ounces - the whole system is at 1/40th scale.
It IS Italian, and it just means barrel. It just doesn’t mean boot, nor has any connection with it. The English word boot, on the other hand, is apparently French origin (bote, a high thick shoe), and the origin of the French word is unknown. But I’d argue that it too was derived from the Latin “buttis”, mainly because it vaguely resembles a small jar shape.
