alt text: a photo of a piece of lumber supporting a floor, printed on it is "242 DICKS" with the rest of the word obsured behind the the wall beneath it.
the caption reads "americans will use anything but the metric system".
Dicks are a terrible unit of measurement. If we used dicks as a measuring system everything we build would end up significantly larger than the original blueprint.
That's certainly not proper imperial. The number is too big. In imperial you invent a new word if things get too hard to count on your fingers. Something like 6 dicks is 1 fest and 9 fests is 1 celebration.
