        Well you know, the full saying is “a pint’s a pound the world around, except the UK where it’s several quid, and really mostly in the US, Liberia, and Myanmar”

      Depends on the flesh you’re rending - the original conversion was from whales but the popularised version is with bacon rended over camp fires; it’s been this way since 2006AD so it’s a pretty well established system. Semper fi, Imperialism.

        Reply to wrong post? Pint is 1/8th of gallon and gallon came from old Norman French with latin roots.
