I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

In the same vein, "Trencherman" is the prestige class for a glutton. The "Trencher" was a hollowed out piece of (very) dry, stale bread used as a soup bowl. The soup would absorb a bit of the bread to wring a bit more nutrition out of otherwise inedible bread, but a good Trencherman will persevere to devour the whole drat bowl every time.

Yes, the American imperial system comes from old British measurements prior to American independence, then the Brits defined them differently in the 1800s.

Being Irish, I pretty much only use imperial measurements for a pint (568ml), a pound of butter (454g), bodyweight (stones and lbs), and height (feet and inches). Just institutional inertia I suppose since everything else converted to metric decades ago

Not only did we cling to a dumb system of units but it's one that even the UK replaced with a different dumb system of units before going metric, yes.

I remember someone saying in Canada (or maybe just one province, I don't remember) they mandated that cars had to be listed in liters per 100km like in Europe or something like that, but people complained because they were still used to MPG, so they said you could also list MPG, but it had to be imperial miles per imperial gallon or something instead of just the US measurements so now that number is completely useless to everyone but victorian-era British time travelers.

at least a 16 oz pint is just two cups. Cups to Pints to Quarts to Gallons just ends up being a base 16 powers of two thing, with the exception of a missing shorthand for half gallon, which is a pretty good system all things considered.

The unit no one remembers in that sequence between quarts and gallons is the "pottle."

You'd think a "pot" of something would be an easy thing to insert into the lexicon too.
