...is your preferred unit bigger than a breadbox?
What's a breadbox? How big is that?
Well...I've never seen one, but...It has to be bigger than a loaf of bread, right? Otherwise, the bread wouldn't fit inside. And it can't be big enough to hide a body in, or it would definitely be named for that property. So mid size-ish.
If that's all you know, why the hell are you using it as your basis of comparison?
It's just so convenient and fun to say!
The house I lived in in college had a breadbox in which you could hide a body.
At least, it seems that way to me now. I admit I never tested that property at the time.
There was, you see, all this bread in it.
Probably not serious, but...
It's a box you keep loaves of home-baked bread in to keep them from going stale. I've only seen a couple in person, but they're about the size of a toaster oven or half the size of a tower-format computer: maybe fourteen inches wide by eight deep and six high, or 35x20x15 cm.
A breadbox used to be a fairly standard kitchen fixture. These days, "Is it bigger than a toaster oven?" might be comparable.
