What is the rhetorical device in "can of whupass"

Quantifying something that is not measurable for dramatic effect.



As in:
"Im going to open up a can of whup-ass on you"
"4 tons of american pride"
"I give zero fucks your problem"



I cant think of many other diverse examples, but I am sure there are more.



What is the name of this rhetorical device? Does it exist formally?
