What puzzles me....

What do you call 2x4 in metric?

A stud.

How big is a 4' x 8' sheet of metric plywood or drywall?

Four feet by eight feet.

Isnt is easier to say "2 inch nail" rather than say "50.8 millimeter
nail"?

Just say 5 cm.

(it's useful to remember that 10cm is roughly 4 inches).

Are foreign women more impressed by a man with a 152.4 millimeter penis
than are US women comparing a man with a 6 inch penis?

How the hell do you refer to the pitch of a roof in metric?

5 in 12 is a dimensionless measurment.
