A bees dick is about 10 thou or 1/4 of a mm. Doesn't matter as its the same measure.

Definitley imperial.

A P00FTEENTH is the metric version (well, very close anyway)

Definately imperial!
In a former life I was a fitter & turner; in the trade, a bee's dick was 'half a thou' (ie. 0.0005") however the use of the term was expanded to include any amount that was 'less than a thou'*.

Perhaps Frant was a boilermaker? (boilermakers having, over time, adopted their own approach to measurement & tolerances).

Any serious discussion on this matter would not be complete without mentioning another imperial unit, the "c$$t hair".
This unit is a distance equal to 'two thou' (ie. 0.002") (plus or minus a bee's dick).
Those of you with access to both a micrometer and an actual "c$$t hair" will be able to verify this.

Note: both the "bee's dick" and "c$$t hair" are singular units, and as such are only used by themselves and never in the plural sense.
You would NEVER refer two "two bee's dicks", or "three c**t hairs"; that would just be silly!

I trust that this helps clear things up.

What about the old "Micky whisker"?

Bit old school, young'uns probably wouldn't know what one looks like with everything shaven or waxed nowadays

I thought it came out of britain along with the Stone?

ah yes... but is it a bees dick long or wide?

Another machinist's saying at the inspectors bench "whats a Thou between friends"

Those that have been paying attention would know....

about half a 'c$$t hair'

NOT two bees dicks!

Engineer actually..so don't use the term in a professional sense. My understanding came from assisting builders/carpenters in home renovations and applying my own assesment of a dimensional equivalent. Will bear the toolroom dimension in mind in future.

I think a "Gnat's cock" is a slightly more accurate measurement than a "Bee's dick".

So a bees dick is a single unit of measure, so you could have two bees dicks would make a _____?

And a bee with two dicks would just be silly

isn't that ...." A Gnats nasty " or is that South Australian

and therefore dosn't count for much

Isnt a gnat smaller than a bee? That would make two gnats to a bee

and what about those John Holmes type porno bees ????

And a bee's dick on a cold day is 3/16ths of the average bee's dick. And we are talking about width, not circumference ........

And if its a tight fit as we say in paving, it fits like a thumb in a bum.

Width does not affect circumference

I didn't realise you had to be gay to be a paver

Yeah anyway it is not gay if you're the thumb, right ???
