What: Deliciousness
Unit: Bacon Strip

What: Deliciousness
Unit: Muffin Tops
Equivalence: 1/2 strip of bacon = 1 Muffin Top. Some have found measuring the deliciousness of certain cakes and confections in bacon strips awkward, for those people the Muffin Top was invented. It is not generally used in the presence of bacon strip adherents as it tends to incur fist fights.
What: Awesomeness

What: Heartache
Unit: ABH’s (Achey Breaky Hearts)
Equivalence: 1 ABH = 7 being alone on Valentine’s days = 2 moments just after she dumps you (Note: it is unclear whether this unit was named from the emotions evident in “Achey Breaky Heart” or the emotions that result from listening to the song.)
What: Breakups
Unit: Swifts
Equivalence: 1 Swift = 2.7 Epic Break ups (it is unclear whether this unit results from the breakups that often form the subject matter of Taylor Swift’s songs or whether it results from each male’s deep sadness over never having had the chance to have Taylor Swift break up with them.)
