Even though the Imperial system of measurement is pretty fucked up (what the hell is a peck, anyway?) most of the terms have been set for centuries.
Take 'pint' for instance. It has always been a measure of volume defined as half a quart or 16 ounces, and not the shape of the glass you're giving away to people who buy a movie.
Trust me – I know my pints.
