Now if my dictionary had said that I wouldn't have needed to take up everybody's time with this thread!

On the other hand I have always wondered where the "avoirdupois" came from ? I think it translates from French as "have some pea"?

I think that's a rather loose translation!

It comes from the Old French avoir du pois or aveir de pois, which translated as "goods of weight," to show that the goods were being sold by weight rather than by volume or individually.

Sorry, I have to accept responsibility for that one! (But I've just looked in the freezer and the bag of peas DOES say "petits pois" on it...)
