"You're going to get you *pounds* of marijuana, baby! I'm talking about
_*elbows*_!"
The UD has
"elbow : a pound of marijuana"
from 2002.
An obvious extension of the common pronunciation of the abbr., "lb(s)." as
"L B('s)."
(My lady wife prefers "lib(s)," which I know as "Librium(s).)

come from the mouths of people who have had to live.
