zomaru ONLINE (12/25/2015) [-] As an american, I was very confused when he said 800,000 pounds.
Then I remembered it was currency.
Seriously, who names their money after their former unit of weight?

The german Mark was originally a weight unit, too. (About 233g, but varied over different places). They used a Mark of silver and divided the silver so that every part had the same value as the gold coin Ducat (which was one of the stable currencies).
Such naming systems sounds pretty sane for a currency which is backed by the coin material.

dorfdorfdorf (12/25/2015) [-] surely you can understand how someone who typically uses "pound" as a unit of weight can, for a few seconds, think that the problem with a car is that it weighs a lot of pounds. how the **** does that make me or him retarded?

vaporous (12/26/2015) [-]
To be fair, they said they were confused when they heard pounds and thought weigh. Meaning no, they did not think the car weights 800,000 pounds. And if somebody only uses one definition for the word pound, why is it that weird if that's what they think about for at least a second?

roflcats (12/25/2015) [-] its because it was used to value a pound of silver. so like one pound used to be equal to one pound of silver which makes sense since the currency is ******** old. Besides its not as confusing since us brits and most of the rest of the world use the metric system now.

TheHutchie (12/25/2015) [-] That's a very good point. You can get away with a lot more on an internet show than a TV one. And yet the licensing people wonder why I don't want Sky.

milvus (12/25/2015) [-]
Maybe it means something different in Italian but then again they want their car names to be pronounced in a spanish way, maybe because of the bull, so its still kind of dumb if reventon means puncture in spanish. At least its not as bad as the Mitsibishi Pajero XD

buddywuggle (12/26/2015) [-] Reventón means "small explosion" or "burst" in Spanish, when used as a noun. In the vernacular, it is also used to define a very large party or a night in town.

blacklightsun (12/25/2015) [-] Reventón also means "party" in spanish. You know... Fiesta, pachanga, reventón...
