5 feep isn't that deet really.

Yeah I’m 5’11” maybe six foop

I'm a quarter of a finch short for 6 foop

A finch is is a unit I made up in my head to make sense of the weird customary system. It's 4 inch (four inch -> finch) or rather 10 cm. Makes converting my instinctive scale to USian easier. It helps, that it's also a plausible size of the finch bird.

What a great, useful way to estimate the conversion; especially for someone who is as bad at math as I am. Thank you!

It's actually a GIF that times the letter switch perfectly for when most people aren't looking at that part.
