LOL, at Charlie Brown’s expression in Panel 3:“WAH!”—that slang interjection meaning,“What on earth!” or “What the hey!” And, if I had seen someone using such a ridiculous term, for use in metrics, or whatever, I,too, would tell them, “Can’t wait to see what you’re going to say NEXT!”(silly though it would be, of course.) That was Sally for you.

Centigram and decigram are quite obscure, people normally say 100 milligrams if they want to say 1/10 of a gram.

10 grampas equal a deci-grump.

1000 millipedes = 100 centipedes = 10 decipedes = 1 pediatrician

Ten grampas equal one group of grumpy old men (who can’t drive anymore).
