What pray tell is a kilo pound?

Private homes, hospitals, etc. It's going to be a real rough ride this time, based on the tears over Gitmo. I'd advise the Iraqi civilians to learn home nursing.

And Americans might want to learn first aid, too. The stuff's going to hit the fan here at home when we take out a muslim hospital.

What pray tell is a kilo pound?

Kilo=1,000. You know what a pound is. Of course kilopound isn't a standard unit -- of weight, explosive yield, or anything else -- but it illustrated a point to tomahawk's satisfaction.

FWIW, in The New Hacker's Dictionary, you'll find whimsical units like nanofortnight.
