weights and measurments?

[Whitmore]

We all have heard many times of different measurments , I would like for someone to put this to my understanding , siffer the questions and help me to see the light as I am confussed



how much or how many is a butt load?

how many buttloads does it take to make a boat load?

what is the whole 9 yards?

I have heard one guy say it was a whole I TRIED TO BY-PASS THE CUSSING FILTER pot full?

How many buttloads does it take until you have $hitfull?

what is the whole kit and kabootle?

a bushel basket full (help illflem)

how many do we need if a guy says 6 of one or a half dozen of the other?? would that be 6 of each?

If a guy says the next town is 4 beers away. how many miles is that?maybe a $hitpot full ? or does a $hitpot full not come into play unless it atleast 5 beers away?

If the temp is described as colder than a witches tit than would that be below freezing or would it be colder than penguin I TRIED TO BY-PASS THE CUSSING FILTER?

Just exactly how horney is a 2 peckered billeygoat anyway?

I have heard something to be described as being as happier than a puppie with 2 peters?





someone help me figger this stuff out

You could spend a month of Januarys figuring it out even then you won't get the whole shebang.

Kev, I do know a bushel basket full equals four pecks.

I asked here awhile back how much the whole kit and caboodle was and no one knew but I tend to think it's the full treatment which equals the whole nine yards.

As I understand it, the phrase "the whole nine yards" comes from the gunners on the B17. The guns would take an amo belt (sorry for the incorrect term, I'm not into guns) that was 27' long. When the crew would come back from a mission, they would comment that they "gave them the whole nine yards".



How long is a "flight line" and how much does a gallon of "prop wash" weigh?

 

[Peter Campbell]

I think you can find prop wash on the aircraft carriers, supply depatrment right next to the bulkhead remover and the buckets of steam. Don't confuse the metric adjustables with the SAE adjustable wrenches either- you might strip the bolt.

 

[ZEEEW]

I have heard the same story about "the whole nine yards", being the length of a belt of cartridges.

If you were a snake, you would have two peters already, must be why you never hear about "happy as a snake with two peters"

A story told about Chesty Puller in Korea:



A forward outpost was under attack by the Chinese and called back to regiment for help. Chesty answered and asked how many Chinese there were. The Marine replied, "There's a $hitload of 'em, sir!"



Chesty then said, "At least we got somebody up there that can count!"
