In the interest of promoting international relations (and stopping the fuckery that is British vocabulary) TJJ would like to clear up a question from the ages:
1 stone = 6.35 kilograms = 14 lbs.
Uses:
“I lost 2 stone in a week with Dexatrim” = I lost 28 pounds inhaling pure ephedrine
“Kirstie Alley gained 3 stone 4 after appearing on Oprah” = Kirstie Alley eats small horses for dinner and therefore gained 46 pounds. (tricky here: 3 stone= 42 lbs. plus 4 more)
It’s also fun for word play:
“I got stoned and ate a stone of pizza”
“Mick Jagger looks like he’s lost some rolling stones”
Now you try! See? Learning is fun.
