Or how about DAU for Dumb Ass Units? I don't understand the M in DMU.

They are actually referred to as "customary units in use in the U.S." or U.S. customary. This is the way NIST and most laws refer to them. It allows for the difference between Imperial and U.S.
I prefer to call them "non-metric units" or DMA (dumb-ass units)
