How much is - - - -
A tad ?
A bit ?
A scant ___ ?
A generous____ ?
A nip ?
A nip and a tuck ?
A pinch ?
A dab ?
A dollop ?
Please add your "precise" measurements to this list - - - -
(I do have more - - - - )
These probably make as much sense as a lot of other things we do. Not many of us have the equipment to measure "exactly" - and "close enough" is what we have learned to live with.
Those engineering types that measure things in terms of "One inch plus or minus 1/1000 inch" taught me that "exact" is difficult to achieve.

what about a smidge, is that more or less than a pinch.
I once got my son (in culinary school at that time) measuring spoons of a bit, smidge, tad ect. gave one to his chef too. I though they were cute.
