FUB (aka imperial / avoirdupois) to me, is just like this, but with different words:

It’s easy as pie.

Seventeen sixty-fourths of an elbow-chariot is equal to a bushel-knuckle.

Unless you’re in the UK, then it’s just seventeen sixty-sevenths of an elbow chariot is equal to a bushel knuckle.

For liquids, obviously. Everyone knows that.

For dry goods, simply use the Fourth Revised Charles Helck Conversion System. For most dry goods it just means that twenty-three sixty-fourths of an elbow-chariot is equal to a bushel-knuckle. Unless the dry goods are cereal grains, when it’s simply two-sevenths more. And obviously in the UK you have the bushel-knuckle adjustment system where on cloudy days you pack them nine-thirteenths as full to make up for the lack of sunlight. Everyone knows that.

This system is so good, it’s gotten us to the moon and back.

…and this is coming from someone in the USA. I can only imagine what other countries see.
