What began as Edmonton-speak for ‘drinking beers’, has evolved into an entire culture.
Anything can be a unit, and usually it’s crankable, sometimes the unit even cranks itself and you need to crank it before it cranks you. Sometimes you crank the units and later on the units crank back (ie a hangover).
Unit Classification System - Crankology. 101
Type 1 Units
- Instant gratification units. Require little effort to crank, with high pleasure payoff.
- Ex: cocaine, liquor.
Type 2 Units
- Units that require some effort to crank, with potentially great rewards.
- Ex: mushrooms, ayahuasca, changa.
Type 3 Units
- Units that crank you, but in the long run allow you to crank even more units.
- Ex: psychedelic ego death, vaccines, getting lost in the forest and discovering your spirit animal after days of dehydration and delirium.
Type 4 Units
- Food units. Calories are eventually required for even the most veteran of greeblers.
- Ex: Rave pizza.
Type 5 Units
- Units that need to leave the body. Bodily function units.
- Ex: crank a piss, bro!
Type 6 Units
- Mystery Units. Units found, effects unknown until cranked.
Ex: powdery substance snorted off greebly shag rug.
Type 7 Units
- Adrenaline units. Units that activate internal adrenaline system for sake of excitement and cheap thrills!
Ex: fire spinning, sky diving, BDSM kinks.
Type 8 Units
Sexual pleasure units.
Ex: cranking your nut butter all over your babe (with consent).

Get the United Fan mug.The desired result of completely sealing something up.
Usually the result of the act of clothing oneself against the elements, commonly seen at UK festivals when festival-goers wear head-to-toe waterproof gear. It is often the case that a successfully sealed unit only occurs when an all-in-one waterproof suit has been used as the sealing agent.

Chrissy: I am definitely damp inside my waterproof jacket and trousers and it's not from trying to pee in a cup to save me going to the portaloos. My sealed unit is compromised.
Mark: I am a completely sealed unit in my all-in-one.
