I adopted the term “hillbilly units” as an umbrella term for all these 
different kinds of measurement units which are normally used by a 
combination of the US and another random third-world country, and it has 
made it considerably easier in those situations where one wants to refer to 
all those measurements not directly derived from the SI units, but where 
one doesn't actually care about which non-standard system it is exactly.
