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'."

Like Jono,

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