Specifically, the sub-head on this article. Everybody laughs at us 'Merkins for failing to use the metric system, but the Brits just happily use an oddball measurement that nobody else does and people think it's just peachy. WTF is up with that?
Probably because we've already had a ton of shit flung our way (ironically, the UK technically uses the tonne but it's Frenchified so fuck that - say herb to me without pronouncing the H and I will gut you like a fish) and the rest of the world prefers to pick on the current cunts. Also, when it comes to body measurements, we choose what's most flattering. Kilos is better than pounds, but stones are better than either. Feet rather than metres for height. Oddly, inches not centimetres for cocks. But never feet or metres unless you're a Martian.
