Subdivision of the hour.

First is the minute (MI-NOOT). Second is the second. Third is the third.

Also, 1/18.2 of a second is a "tick" (not the parasitic animal kind).

I don't know about that, but I remember a "South Park" where a man was yelling about not having an erection. His kid hears this and goes to church where he hears about a res-erection. He thinks he can get one and give it to his dad.

Beauty is measured in Helens while magic is measured in Thaums.

And, of course, everyone knows that a Smoot is 67".
