I have been worrying about the symbl to use for this new unit, the Kylie. Clearly, neither K or k are satisfactory as it would cause no end of confusion with Kelvin and kilo.

But I have been inspired by your proposal, Doggy Styles, and so may I suggest a lower-case Omega as the symbol for the Kylie: ω

Good work RC. I'm probably a bit perverse though, because every time I look at that I see tits.

What about Psi?

Well, if the bum men see a bum and the boob men see boobies (and, wearing my rose-tinted pince-nez, it looks like a gentleman's clockweights) that suggests it is a suitable symbol for the Kylie general purpose unit of measurement - all things to all men.

Ah I see, a GENERAL law of physical attraction. So do we have the basis of a formula here, something like:

w = 1/(1+pints) ?

Kylie = 1 / (1 + Kylies)

Kylie = 1 / (1 + Kylies)

Interesting concept.

I was thinking more along the lines of the number of pints needed to find someone attractive enough to want to shag - the less attractive the bird the more pints you need.

It assumes the Kylie standard is zero pints, which using my formula works out to 1.0 Kylies, and a 5-pinter would be 0.166 Kylies. Zero Kylies would be an infinite amount of pints.

Or something like that. I need to get out more.
