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

Ex: cranking your nut butter all over your babe (with consent).

“I went to help my friend build a fence but then we just started cranking units instead”
“When I birthed my child I was in labour for 12 hours”
“Damn, that’s cranking a unit for sure”
“Love une/ love yoon”
“Don’t forget to use your manners, say please and crank une”
“What is life, but a unit cranked?”

Get the object-interface unity mug.The greatest leader the world could ever offer, the first French man to stand up against Hitler in the Holocaust 2044 reboot. He is a sweet friend that is always up for a chat. He also likes tea and cake. He does not like Madame boyle and abuses her very much harder than Chris brown.

Get the Monsieur Boyle (52nd president of United States) mug.A completely derogitory term. Accurately describes someone who quite ovbiously is thick, or behaves in a manner in which you would never befriend. Unlike unit which could be taken as a term of endearment to a buddy. You would be a spun unit if you thought being called a spun unit brought you closer to the person saying it.
Take a look at that f*cking c*cksucker taking up both lanes, AND he doesn't give a sh*t. He's a f*ckin spun unit if i've ever seen one. F*ck off loser ( as you give the finger as you overtake him)
