Imagine my surprise when I told an American I used to do bench press with a hundred lbs but pronouncing it "libs" and he looked at me like a crazy person. Imagine my surprise that somehow lbs translates to pounds. How does that happen how do libs become pounds?

@DrSunnyTheSkeptic It's the same funny thing, that back in the days, when I was living on the other side of the pond, a guy told me that kilograms are for drug dealers. I begged to differ a bit. Then again, even the Fahrenheit scale makes no sense. I guess it was invented for the sole purpose of writing classics, such as the "451".
