Retard Unit 

A Retard Unit is a form of expressing measurements the wrong way. Usually Europeans talk about the imperial system as a retard unit, but Asian units shouldn't be used either. Probably originating from 9gag or Reddit as retard units have, and is, looked down at, because who knows how many centimetre an inch is, and you sure don't want to waste brainpower converting. Comments reaching the top by simply converting foot, yards and pound to units the rest of the world understands. This started as a joke, now it's an actual importance in society.

As of now, the Americans should've learned their lesson, and stopped using inconsistent units, thus converting them before posting. If you spot a retard unit or simply an american, don't be shy to leave a little comment explaining what they've been doing wrong their entire life and leave a reminder for their next time, by destroy their self-confidence, insuring that they get off the internet, forever. OUT, JUST GET OUT!

BTW don't forget to leave a "Thank You" GIF to all the converters out there, you are the real MVP.

- Your height is 172 cm in non-retard units, you retard.

British slang for a scientist or technical expert, esp . when the speaker is not certain of the expert’s specific field of study. Not necessarily derogatory, but typically used by persons without a technical background. In the US, the equivalent would be “egghead”, “squint”, or “geek.”

Origin of the word is unknown. Started sometime in World War 2. Given the typical evolution of British slang, could easily have started because what these experts did was confusing or “baffling” to the common person.
According to the boffins downstairs, the murderer used a serrated blade.

I saw Satantango last night, wonderful film but by the 5th hour I had to start doing pee calculus.
