A weird little fact about the differences in how we weigh ourselves inside and outside of the US is that in America, we measure the amount of force put on the earth by our bodies, while in the metric system they take that force and divide out the gravitational constant to get mass. If you're 100 kg at sea level on Earth, you're 220 lbs, but being 100 kg on the moon would make you weigh 37 lbs in American units. When an American says "X pounds" they might not be referring to weight.
