A yard is three feet, or about the length of a man's stride.
A quart is about the maximum amount of whiskey one can drink without dying.
A pint's a pound, the world around.
My favorite is the cord, which is 128 cubic feet, or more often a stack of firewood 4 feet tall by four feet wide by eight feet long.

- andrewaylett 8y agoA pint is a pound so long as you're in the US. Everywhere else, it's 20 fl.oz, while a pound is 16 oz.
- njarboe 8y agoThe cord is also the size of the standard US pickup truck bed with the wood stacked up about cab height.
