Duncan named a lot of units to be saved. Save the slug! I am adding another
one which I have always found very funny. Invented by NASA, the slinch!

This is a rather truncated list of units to be saved - viz. ounces and

troy pounds and troy ounces and grains, carats, drams, stones,
hundredweight, tons (short and long).
