Today, I only just found out that the abbreviation "lbs" is actually short for pounds. I've been saying "labs" my entire life. I'm 21. FML

I mean I don't really understand the abbreviation either.... But I'm sure you're not the only one who's made that hilarious mistake OP.

On the other hand, why is "pound" abreviated with "lbs"?

'lbs' is short for 'libras' which is pounds in Latin.
