    Finally decent measurements

    Do a woman’s breasts weigh more than a Persian kitten? Handy chart from Japan lets youÂ*know | RocketNews24

    Ladies are you sporting a pair of Alvins or a cuddly Persian?



    ● A-cups: 236.3 grams, or two chipmunks
    ● B-cups: 447.5 grams, or five cockatiels
    ● C-cups: 531.3 grams, or one newborn polar bear cub
    ● D-cups: 758.8 grams, or one wigeon duck
    ● E-cups: 1,006.4 grams, or one Netherland Dwarf rabbit
    ● F-cups: 1,180 grams, or one three-month-old Persian kitten
    And for the boys as we know MF is a fifty pancaker but where do you fit in?



    ● A-cups: 11 pancakes
    ● B-cups: 15 pancakes
    ● C-cups: 18 pancakes
    ● D-cups: 25 pancakes
    ● E-cups: 34 pancakes
    ● F-cups: 39 pancakes
    AtW of course has a squirrel based chart.

    Merci vielmal in Basel. Adieu for goodbye. Trottoir for pavement. Anker for butter (as in anchor butter), and manchesters for corduroy trousers.

    Some of the European companies I have done work for purposely put the British flag as the icon for their English website.

    I sometimes then have to point out the American spellings....

    We're so lucky that English became the international language.
