A ‘ton’ is sometimes used in Canada to mean 100 mph, although as Canada switched to metrics many years ago, the term has likely fallen into disuse. A ‘ton’ is also sometimes used to refer to other units of measure, such as pressure, e.g., 100 lbs/sq in.
A ‘grand’ means a thousand dollars in both Canada and the U.S., ‘ten grand’ means ten thousand dollars, etc. ‘K,’ pronounced ‘kay,’ is also sometimes used to mean a thousand dollars, as in "We raised 20K to finance the project."
A ‘great gross’ is 12 x 144 = 1,728 units.
All these describe a specific number of general units.
For specific types of units, the list quickly gets longer.
Quantities of time have long had names: minute, hour, day, week, weekend, etc.
Fluid measure is notorious for the number of names that refer to specific volumes, and especially so with respect to wines and spirits: shot, mickey, fifth, jeroboam, hogshead, etc.
