ЧТО ОЗНАЧАЕТ СЛОВО PINT
пинта
Пинта представляет собой единицу объема или мощности как в обычных, так и в имперских измерительных системах Соединенных Штатов. Имперская пинта используется в Соединенном Королевстве и Ирландии, а также в других странах Содружества. В Соединенных Штатах используются две пинты: жидкая пинта и менее обычная сухая пинта. Каждая из этих пинтов составляет одну восьмую своего галлона, но галлоны различаются, а имперская пинта примерно на 20% больше, чем жидкая пинта США. Это различие датируется 1824 годом, когда Закон о британских весах и мерах стандартизовал различные жидкие меры во всей Британской империи, в то время как Соединенные Штаты продолжали использовать более ранние английские меры. Имперская пинта состоит из 20 имперских унций жидкости, а жидкая пина США - 16 унций жидкости в США, что делает унцию имперской жидкости примерно на 4% меньше, чем унция жидкости в США. Различные страны Содружества, такие как Канада, Австралия и Новая Зеландия, перешли в метрическую систему в 1960-х и 1970-х годах, поэтому, хотя термин «пинта» все еще может быть широко распространен в этих странах, он может не ссылаться на имперскую пинту, которая первоначально использовалась во всем Содружестве.

ЦИТАТЫ СО СЛОВОМ «PINT»
Известные цитаты и высказывания со словом
pint.
I like to be able to get up and go and buy a pint of milk without bumping into 20 people I know.
Like most of the world's population I'm into coffee, but in a properly big and important way. My perfect weekend would start with a pint of coffee.
Getting to the pint where the other is not the enemy is a big leap.
A pint can't hold a quart - if it holds a pint it is doing all that can be expected of it.
At Marshall Field in Chicago, I had them take a big bed into the menswear department, one with black sheets. I'd get in bed wearing a nightcap, and my fans would get in bed with me, one at a time, and I'd sign their memorabilia. And then I'd give them a free pint of Ben & Jerry's.
Ben & Jerry's is an indulgent dessert that should be eaten in moderation. You should not be replacing more than one meal a day with ice cream. We do not consider a pint or a tub of ice cream to be a single serving.
Scientifically, it has been proven that after three bites, your palate has been satisfied. It doesn't matter what you eat. So if you eat one boule of ice cream, that's all you need. You don't have to eat pint after pint after pint.
Maybe it's a little ambitious of me to presume that no matter how big the film is, that I can always go down to the shop to buy a pint of milk.
I watch these actors who when you go to buy a pint of milk you see them smiling on the cover of 20 magazines. Then when you see them in a film it's hard to believe the character because you just see them everywhere.
Of this they drank half a pint every day, and sometimes more or less, as it operated, by way of gentle physic. Two others had each two oranges and one lemon given them every day. These they ate with greediness, at different times, upon an empty stomach.
