A very old system of measurement which is used by Britain and the U.S.
These are the basic and not so basic measurements of length in order.
barleycorn (570,240 in a lea.)
inch (3 bc.)
hand (4 in.)
foot (3 hd.)
yard (3 ft.)
fathom (2 yrd.)
furlong (110 fm.)
mile (16 fur.)
league (3 mi)
Some people insist that a rod (don't let your mind stray) is part of the standard, but, since it doesn't multiply like the others (a rod is 16.5 feet), I wouldn't include it.

Americans and Brits use the standard system because we want to be different from the rest of the world — were not some sort of brain-washed, fluoride-addicted zombie — we are indies! (My apologies to anyone who has no idea what I just wrote)

Get the standard system. mug.The actual original Budweiser beer. Too many little guys have overtaken the beer culture with the terms 'Bud Heavy' or Bud Diesel'.
No, it is Bud Standard. The standard version of Budweiser, and how it was supposed to always be.
Fuck Bud Light and the people who drink it.

"Dude you're drinking Bud Heavies tonight? Nice."
"No faggot, I'm drinking a Bud Standard. Stop ruining the King of Beers by revealing how much of a puss cake you are."

Get the Bud Standard mug.A phrase used to define a humdrum day full of mediocrity (for all intensive purposes just an ordinary day), and to perpetuate your apathy towards such a day, regardless of what day of the week it actually is.
Steve: Hey Ralph how was your day?
Ralph: Oh you know steve, just your standard tuesday.
Steve: But...its friday.
Ralph: Yeah, I know.
Ralph: Oh you know steve, just your standard tuesday.
Steve: But...its friday.
Ralph: Yeah, I know.

Get the Yinbo standard mug.(noun;adjective) One-hundred eighty pounds - the accepted weight at which a chubby girl is truly classified as a fat chick, no ifs, ands or buts (but definitely too much "butt"). As porker lard seems to increase exponentially in effect, a "double industry-standard" is about 220 lbs. and a "triple" starts around 260.
As the industry-standard bullied her way past Glenn, he smiled and once again thanked Heaven that his wife was nowhere near industry-standard weight.
