I always thought a smidge was bigger than a poofteenth, which is also twice the size of a smidgen, but smaller than a bee's dick - which of course is twice the size of half a bee's dick.
A notch is bigger than any of these, but smaller than a tad. Two tads I'm sure make bit, but not quite a little bit. Now, if you really want to get to small measurements, there's always a gnat's whisker, and if it's a teenage gnat's whicker, that's even smaller still.

And you guys thought metrics are difficult!

Hah!

Hang on half a mo, I'm sure there are more.....

Watto The Confused. :shock:

LMAO........... Today I have learnt something :D

BTW - Watto, thank you *again* so much, thats what I was looking for! Hmm I went hunting for a cream colour I liked, and saw this one with my own eyes. I was told that the colour was original for the car but had been recently re-sprayed, so may be a true representation of the colour. :)

Absolute Classic!! :lol: :lol: Worth copy righting.
A great script for the Two Ronnies

But anyway I need help. I found this looking for drawings that
some one provided to help someone with their colour decisions
for their mini.
Could some one show me the thread? They were outline type drawings
that you could hand colour.

:shock: Watto, The Conqueror of Ye Olde Measurements and other useless information :P


So where does a "touch", a "bee's whisker" or an "um-teenth" (of which i am sure is less than an "um-teen") fit in the list above :?:
