What's this?

The opposite, haven't heard that used in a long, long time


I look forward to you using it in a sentence.

To be serious, I think that was always on cans and stuff when I was a kid, eg 16 ozs avoirdupois. so yeah, back in the 50s and 60s. I mean, I kinda understand that without really knowing what it meant, ie, we're using avoirdupois this time whatever that means.
