I worked for a guy putting Tudor style boards on a house who would yell down measurements for me to cut "Make that just a c*nt hair short of 54 inches" We were surrounded by people, kids, etc. It was embarrassing.
It's an acronymic form of: Common Units in Neander Terms.
Of course, some guys use: Common Units in Normite Terms - but these might be metric.

Is it just me or does anyone else like to wear a crown when taking Imperial measurements?

A pencil makes you slow down and think about what you're trying to do.
What is it?

Yup. I use those inexpensive plastic Pentel type mechanical pencils. Get 5 or 6 for just $1-2. Great, no sharpening, line always the same size.
I've heard they wear out real fast, but I found out they carry spare leads, and when they stop working, just put in one of the spares, and it works again.

Yep.
Feh. Taste is extemely disputable. But are you cool enough to coolly support your arguments? That interests me.
I want to work with fractions because I want to appeal to the "old school Americans" that relate to their fathers (read "WW2 vets") that have now borrowed their way into financial security. Plus, get to work with w00d. crazeeworld.
