Why the British system is, well, horrible for physics... It's called the slug.

You should have skipped the calculator and pulled out your smartphone.
That would have gone viral in a minute. How dare you stop this young millennial from have some fun. All of us boomers need to learn and stand aside and let these youngsters take over. I mean, what could go wrong?
You get they sarcasm right?

[mrsmith]

“mot my hire”.
Jusi curious, did thst do you any good?
Was never good at cotporate politics...

[Deaf Smith]

Lost my shop in '09 due to Obama Care.

No customers, no work.

[mrsmith]

OW!
Yeah, I went into retirement then.

So, it’s possible to have a slug of salt?

Putting salt on a slug will melt it like the wicked witch!

[mrsmith]

LOL!
I’m probably twice your age.
Fool.
30 + years in factory maintenance and never opnce needed “slugs” LOL!

[Redcitizen]

I was shooting slugs at the range. No not the garden slugs either. These were Remington shotgun slugs weighing 437.5 grains as if slugs as a unit of measure was not obscure enough.

[Keyhopper]

Wow! You look good for 114

[mrsmith]

I lookm good for any age...

Years of physics and engineering study in the 70s and 80s; I never had to use the slug. Pounds-mass and pounds-force. You just had to know that one lbf equals 32.174 ft-lbm/s2. The “slug” is a derived unit to make one pound force equal to one of something.

[mrsmith]

Thanks, very encouraging.
Weird that this unit suddenly appeared.

[Rebelbase]

Ha! Flashback to a nutty Aunt I had who after too many glasses of wine would take a flashlight and carton of salt and hunt slugs in her backyard at night.

[Deaf Smith]

Break down the FR handle...mrsmith to

Mr Smith.

.

Too much focus on mrs.

[mrsmith]

Ha! Ha! Ha!
I’m lost in “units” and everyone’s laughing at me.
Oh well....

[DUMBGRUNT]

Not sure about wine, but they like beer!

IDK
IMO people who can’t differnttiate between Mr - Smith amd Mrs-Smith show their own intellectual limits.

[Dennis M.]

“Years of physics and engineering study..”

Same here. In my case CGS, MKS and Imperial were all required. In addition, E and M is split with two sets of units. You get used to it after a while but it is a pain.

[mrsmith]

Well, its tough on us who have been encouraged to think a pound is a mass- which usually it tis.

[bIlluminati]

one slug = 32 pounds.

So, having a few slugs of Bushmills might be overdoing it?

[mrsmith]

You can afford Bushmills?
You should be ashamed of yourself!
