Ah nice, this should be a constructive dialogue between open minded and empathetic individuals.
grabs popcorn
how many ounces of popcorn?
Which ounce are we talking about?
the one you would use for gold.
liquefied gold
How many liters?
Meteric, customary, whatever. But volume for dry food measurement??
And are we talking compressed or with space for air?
What's that in cups?
No. Popcorn is measured in denim jeans pockets. Anything else wouldn't be logical
Could I get that in buckets?
Nautical or normal buckets?
Popcorn buckets
No, you mean how many grams. Definitely not liters for popcorn, that’s just deranged.
I'm struggling to understand the joke, can you kindly explain? Is this an imperial vs metric thing?
The joke is that British people have so little going for them that they must resort to making inaccurate jokes about outdated stereotypes based on cultural generalizations.
That's not exclusive to the British, everyone does it.
Why are you bringing the British into this? What did they do to you?
They brought us the Imperial system.
