I think you should use the more technical and precise term "buttload."

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Metric buttload. Wait, maybe imperial. Which is favored for this location?

A Euro buttload.

I dunno, the euro's having issues lately...

It's in England. No mention of the Euro.

So ...imperial or metric, then!

Because books.
Many pounds sterling of important related experience?
I think "a metric buttload" is really universal, though.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
how nice she thought it was to show kids all the different ways people live.
But it's so way niche. And also pretty easy to achieve, if that's what you want. I just..is there a gaping hole of representation of platonic life partners, or it's something that inspiration really counts for? It's room-mates. It's low impact, and not endangered or erased or anything.
I mean, apart from how everyone's going to think you're gay married, but Ernie and Bert don't really have any bearing on that. It's like seeing representation of, I dunno, breakfast nooks or something. It's nice that people who want breakfast nooks can see sorts of breakfast nooks out there, but it's not really a poorer life for not having seen it on TV.

I always assume B&E were cousins. Not sure why.
IRL, my neighbor still gets asked about her 'wife' at the market. Who was her platonic housemate for many years. 4 years ago. They were always shopping and planning meals together, so people assumed. They do still share custody of the cat- he sometimes lives with the ex-housemate or her parents when they're out of town for extended gigs.
