1. The Jargon File (version 4.4.7, 29 Dec 2003) |
smoot
/smoot/, n.
[MIT] A unit of length equal five feet seven inches. The length of the
Harvard Bridge in Boston is famously 364.4 smoots plus an ear (the ear is
allegedly the width of the earhole in the side of the football helmet the
victim was wearing when he was rolled over the bridge). This legend began
with a fraternity prank in 1958 during which the body length of Oliver
Smoot (class of '62) was actually used to measure out that distance. It is
commemorated by smoot marks that MIT students repaint every few years; the
tradition even survived the demolition and rebuilding of the bridge in the
late 1980s. The Boston police have been known to use smoot markers to
indicate accident locations on the bridge. Apparently Smoot's experience as
a unit of measurement led to a life-long career; he eventually became
Chairman of the Board of the American National Standards Institute, and
later President of the International Organization for Standardization.
