Americans Will Use Anything Except The Metric System

Americans Will Use Anything Except The Metric System is a catchphrase commonly used whenever an example of a measurement is given for an object that isn't in Imperial or Metric units, particularly those that use seemingly outlandish things for measuring. Examples of measurements being given in nonstandard units have existed online since before the phrase was made and attributed to them, and often include using other nonstandard items (such as washing machines) to describe the size or weight of something else (like a sinkhole).
