Hmm...
In my head? "libs"

To other people? "Pounds" (and sometimes libs slips out).

why is it even lbs anyway?
I'm sure there's some reason but it's never made much sense
"The libra (Latin for "scales / balance") is an ancient Roman unit of mass that was equivalent to approximately 328.9 grams It was divided into 12 unciae (singular: uncia), or ounces. The libra is the origin of the abbreviation for pound, 'lb'."

His eyebrows sparkling, his white beard hangs down to his chest. The thatched mats, spread outside his chise, spread softly, his splendid attos. He polishes, cross-legged, his makiri, with his eyes completely absorbed.

He is Ainu.

The god of Ainu Mosir, Ae-Oine Kamuy, descendant of Okiku-Rumi, He perishes, a living corpse. The summers day, the white sunlight, unabrushed, ends simply through his breath alone.
Ulbs internally, pounds externally

If I'm not here, I'm doing photography. Or I'm asleep. Or in lockdown. One of those three, anyway.

The current titlebar/avatar setup is just normal.
Like Jono,

EL-BEES in my head

Fortunately my mouth picks up the slack and says "Pounds" just in time.
