Oh I see so many already that my family uses, but I do not see:
A drop, which can be as small as a droplet of blood on a quilt, or the drop of wine that filled a 9 oz glass before I pricked my finger.
A bit further, can be another block away or a 1/2 day's drive, depending on perspective.
Oh, once I start to think about it, I can remember more, words that I use without thinking.
How big is a knob of butter?
A lump of coal is not the same size as a lump of sugar.

My best friend's mother was teaching me to make her fruit kuchen - her measurement was, "You add......whatever.... until it looks like this." We did this before we had video machines and cel phones.

Two very common South African ones:
I'm going 'just now' - which means anything from 15 minutes to an hour, and
I'm going 'now now' - which means any time from 5 minutes to around 20 minutes but not immediately
