The metric system == scary!

[MikeK]

So since you guys don't use the metric system, I have been trying to get a handle on all the units of measurement here. So far I have these, smallest to largest:

- A chunk
- A bunch
- A whole bunch
- A metric assload (aka an arseload according to dean)

I am not sure yet what the conversion factors are

Am I missing anything else?

[MattR]

Don't forget :

A cunt-hair (Smallest)

A grip (Somewhere in the middle)

Shit-load (My personal favorite, I use to describe everything over 2)

And you know, I heard people in New Zealand using the term shit-load, so there must be a conversion somewhere.

[Nick Koan]

Well, if we have a metric assload, there should be an Imperial assload (or English assload), though I don't know if its more or less then a metric assload. Probably more.

Also, smaller then a chunk is a bit. A grip is between a bunch and a whole bunch. A 'fucking gripload' is a touch more then a grip.

I might not be getting your reference but I go here :Clicky

for the little things atleast

Haha. I bet I'd get in a lot of trouble going to another english speaking country, with the stuff that comes out of my mouth.

I'd never heard that one. (Maybe cuz I'm not a guy?)

anything bigger than a ______ (fill-in) = Rhode Island

First, I claim no responsability for "metric assload" nor any interpretation thereof.

I too beleive shitload is valuable for anything much over a couple. Pleathora is a useful alternative in polite company.

The polite form of cunt hair is smidge.
________________

As far as conversions go... I have done these in terms you shold be familiar with.

Smidge/cunt hair = distance Steve Irwin, "The Crocodile Hunter", considers safe to hold his baby to a crocodile.

Hunk = the amount af flesh a baby crocodile can take out of Steve Irwin's hand when he gets a smidge to close.

Chunk = The amount of flesh Terri Irwin took out of Steve Irwin after having their baby near a crocodile.

Bunch = The number of shrimp you need for the barby for four adults.

A whole bunch = The number of shrimp you need to keep an crocodile from eating you after Steve Irwin locks you in their pen after you made fun of him.

Shitload =
___1. What you have in your pants after Steve Irwin locks you in a crocodile pen and you ain't got no shrimp!
___2. How much whoop ass you are going to give Steve Irwin if you get out!

[MattR]

All I know is, Mike K hates Steve Irwin, and Considers him a disgrace to Australia, just like Foster's...So, Not so sure this is going to help him...

haha...I remember the time Mike was at my house and we were watching crocodile hunter, his face turned red with hatred...hahaha.

I couldn't figure how to get Fosters into my conversions, or I would have used it as well.

Maybe Whole bunch could have been how much Fosters you have to drink before you would even think about going into a pen with a crocodile... Oh well.
