I know it means "fluid ounces" but every single time I see it my brain says "floral ounces".

I just read it floz. Doesn't mean anything to my European ass, anyway.

2 flozes? Sure. Might as well be that.

My theory is something like fluid -> fluoride -> floral but who knows

My French brain reads that as "Eiffel Oz" (like the wizard of Oz and the Eiffel tower).
