Reilly n. unit of measurement. Used in fiction writing; the rate per page at which an author breathlessly employs contrived, precisely concurrent dramatic events.

With the advent of the computer age, there have had to be developed new units of measurement. Bytes and their ilk, pixels… the list is growing all the time.

And so it goes. The newest measurement is the DAFT PILCHARD.

This is the base unit of stupidity in a user of a computer system. There are 9 daft pilchards to a PEANUT, 5 peanuts to a DOLT and 23 dolts to a MORON. This means there are 1035 pilchards to a moron.

So if you call some-one a daft pilchard, they are 0.007% of a moron. Don’t you feel better?

Unit of measure denoting how many times the expression "ha" is to be repeated, indicating the speaker's amusement level.

Example -- Instead of saying,

        "ha ha ha ha ha!"

the speaker may simply state,

        "ha5!"

thus saving effort, and simplifying interpretation for the listener. This is especially helpful when the speaker is feeling quite jolly, and the number of "ha's" is very large, as in "ha50!" or "ha100!"
