love it.

[Senoska]

yeah, an OZ is 28 grams, and 8th is 3.5, not 3.

Unless you're from the inner city, which an 8th is 2 grams, and an oz really means a half.

I've had an ongoing conversation with friends for years.

"What's the minimum number of people required to have an orgy?" It makes an excellent ice breaker question at parties.

Spoiler: show

General consensus, having had this conversation 50 times: 4, if they aren't two couples. 5 if there's multiple couples involved. The person holding the video camera only counts if they also participate.

I wonder who decided those group names

[Asai]

while we're at it

ya'll = singular
ya'll all = plural
ya'll's = singular possessive
ya'all all's = plural possessive

Since moving to Tennessee I have been exposed to "You'nz".

There's also the royal "Y'all" which can be used properly in the singular.

In certain parts of the south, you may run across a "yu'ns and nem" which is singular getthefuckoutbeforeyougetbanjoraped

It's a very concise dialect, capable of fitting entire sentences into a single syllable.

Why do you guys keep passing over a score... 20 = a score

Some more essentials

microfortnight = 1.2096 seconds

human years (h) to dog years (d) piecewise conversion formula

for 0 < h < 2

d = 10.5*h

for 2 < h < dog death

d = 21+4*(h-2)

[Kryssan]

1 Barn = 10^−28 m^2

1 Outhouse = 10^−34 m^2

1 Shed = 10^−52 m^2

Proof positive that we still have better units than anyone else.


Edit: Never actually knew about this one, huh. 1 Silo = 10^-40 m^2.

[Bingbong]

Several that I have always liked.
