Apologies, JayKay, you got the US measurements correct!

Fluid ounces were are not the only semantical obstacles that I had to overcome with my British friends.
You should have seen their faces when I once referred to my fat butt (bum) as my "fat fanny*". Good thing everyone was not only very young, but also very close friends.


Which, I might add, is a perfectly acceptable term here in the US. I've seen it used on this site - and often wonder about the amount of giggling that you Brits are doing....
