Do the brits wanna talk about how they came up with a "yard" as a measurement?

A football field is three skwerls and 5 / 12 elbows. Now you know it~

Like putting lipstick on a pigskin field

Hah! Just as I suspected, you all only call your sport (also played on a field) "football" when Americans are listening in order to mess with us.

(/j, of course)

Er... Non-US countries also use "dozen" and have football fields. The only thing here that's an american measurement is "inches", and she shouldn't have much a problem understanding that since the thing being measured is right in front of her.

This one is reaching.

I don't know about you, but I've never seen someone measure things in football fields except in the US

Also, football field != (American) football field

A football field/pitch is an internationally relatable reference point - it's used all the time to give a sense of scale.

Hey-hey, don't bring "dozen" into this filthy discussion, it did nothing wrong!

I'm going to resist the urge to test that. Wait, if you mean American football, I can't anyway.
