ETA: They forgot ‘yards’ (yds) for shorter distances which we still use on road signs.
The Imperial system is actually a very self-explanatory and easy to use measurement system.
1ft is about 3.54 fingers (fg), while 1fg is 5.66 dingleberries (dbs). 14ft are equal to a 1 hempendinger (hdnr) and 7.4 hdnr are a Quarterrumpendum (qrdm), which is funny because only 3 qrdm are 1 Rumpendum (rdm).
Why does he feel the need to ask what an Inch is but not what a Meter or a Gram?
Barry: so i found this stone
But he missed out rods, chains and furlongs!
How will you be able to measure the length and circumference of your cricket pitches?
in engineering school in the united states we have to learn both british gravitational system and the metric system and on behalf of all american engineers everywhere FUCK you england

What the ahistorical fuck is this?
Rare Fr🤮nch W, usual Barry L
Are the Brits units the same as freedom units?
For anyone interested in knowing how ~~fucked up~~ diverse our measuring system is:
