Churchman Posted January 9, 2010 Report Share Posted January 9, 2010 Didn't take long for the scatalogical to take over, but I'm still in the dark about a chunk etc! Usually something thats broken off, a solid, Like chocolate. "Let me have a chunk of that" Not to be confused with Chunking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Williams Posted January 9, 2010 Report Share Posted January 9, 2010 Can someone enlighten me, not being a yank with the benefit of local knowledge, I have a problem with some of your weights and measures. Pounds, gallons and even miles I get, Australia switched over to decimal in the late 60's. So just how much is a chunk? How about a hunk? A knurdle? What about a generous knurdle? A smidge? A cord? And there is many more out there, please help out. What makes it really confusing is that many of these, such as ****load, can vary in volume from person to person while others are much more precise like "a Frenchman", which is always 3 inches.

"Let me have a chunk of that" Not to be confused with Chunking Bout time someone chimed in with an explanation! I'm guilty for jumping in and tryin to be funny. The "hunk" is more referred to something that noone wants. As in a "hunk of junk" pertaining to an old car thats deteriorated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have never heard or seen the word knurdle. Urban Dictionary: Knerdle, or knurdle or nerdle or nurdle Knerdle, or knurdle or nerdle or nurdle - 3 definitions - to score runs by nudging the ball into a gap (cricket) Urban Dictionary: knurdle linkscanner: Oct 23, 2007 ... knurdle - 1 definition - To drop food down your clean top leaving a stain, while eating with other people who notice.

Cord has other definitions. I have never heard or seen the word knurdle. Wondered about a cord, we used to buy wood by the half ton, or ton - mostly that was arbitrary any way. A knurdle must be west coast, a Californian boat bunny I used to sail with in Aussie used it all the time. It too was an arbitrary measure.

A cord of wood can be stacked and packed in different ways with different sized pieces of different kinds of wood. Buying wood by the pound more accurately matches price with quantity.
