The first “absolute unit” meme was born on December 13, 2017, when a Twitter user named @mrreptoid wrote, “In awe at the size of this lad. Absolute unit,” with regards to a photo of British hotelier David Morgan-Hewitt standing next to the Queen of England. Mr. Morgan-Hewitt is a very large lad, indeed.

But it really took off in 2018, with the Museum of English Rural Life tweeting a photograph of ram with a caption “Look at this absolute unit.” Adam Koszary, the museum’s manager who wrote the tweet, amassed 98k likes and more than 27k retweets in the next couple of days.

An “absolute unit'' is a term that implies a general idea that something or someone is comically oversize. And it can be applied to virtually anything, from objects to animals, to even humans and fashion. Speaking of fashion, much of the oversized trend of the past five years has to do with the image that can be called “absolute unit.” From dad’s sneakers to gigantic jackets, they look both funny, out of proportion, yet somewhat progressive and unmistakably fashionable.

They are breathtaking!! The blue whale is the largest animal on the planet, weighing as much as 200 tons (approximately 33 elephants). The blue whale has a heart the size of a Volkswagen Beetle. Its stomach can hold one ton of krill and it needs to eat about four tons of krill each day. They are the loudest animals on Earth and are even louder than a jet engine. Their calls reach 188 decibels, while a jet reaches 140 decibels. Their low frequency whistle can be heard for hundreds of miles and is probably used to attract other blue whales. - world wildlife.org

Actually the loudest animal underwater is a shrimp, because they create a specific sound that creates a white out for a submarine, so that you can't hear anything above the water if you're underneath and you can't hear anything underwater if you're above it, it's pretty cool,

I have deduced that "unit" now means large or oversized. But is it just a coincidence everyone is using the same adjective "absolute"...or is the full term "absolute unit"? Language is changing so fast...I am Gen X, and "unit" use to mean something very different, and it was not always large.

15points

Kira Okah 3 years ago

The full term is "absolute unit", though "unit" could be used standalone if it's in a drive by comment, it's mostly used as the full term. It's specific meaning is "something exceptionally large for what it is".

I looked at what Ben Smith had to say, well, I did agree with him re perspective. I have been a keen amateur photographer, so can see when the camera is too close to the subject, esp. the macaron, and the duck. You need something to compare the sizes, like the Percheron stallion.
