Unspecified unit of height
The unit this abbreviation is for is unknown, but appears to be a unit for measuring height. It is only seen written as apostrophes and quotation marks following numbers, similar to how feet and inches are abbreviated. However, it is most likely not equivalent to real-world feet and inches.
- The wanted poster for the Nebraskas lists their heights in this manner. The Professor is said to be 6'5" and Gofsef is said to be 34'16". LOST JULY
- The Personal Data Sheet for Vash's entry to the Quick Draw tournament lists Vash's height as 7'20". QUICK DRAW
Volume
Dallons
Most likely equivalent to gallons.
- Vash describes the amount of alcohol he and Wolfwood consumed the night before as "a few dallons." QUICK DRAW
Weight
pg/pgs
The unit this abbreviation is for is unknown, but appears to be a unit for measuring weight. It is only seen written, and is depicted as both "pg" and "pgs" following the numbers. While it shares this abbreviation with the real-world measurement of a picogram, it is most likely not equivalent.
- The wanted poster for the Nebraskas lists their weights in "pgs". The Professor is said to weigh 62pgs and Gofsef is said to weigh 9995pgs. LOST JULY
- The Personal Data Sheet for Vash's entry to the Quick Draw tournament lists Vash's weight as "84.5 pg". QUICK DRAW
Gallery
Notes
- The height and weight measurements (as well as the other information) on the Personal Data Sheet for Vash seen in episode 10 are most likely inaccurate, as the form was filled out by Wolfwood.
