Hundreds and Thousands....

You've done the quizzes where 52 CIAP means 52 Cards in a pack? 12 IIAF means 12 inches in a foot?
Here's a quick (!) 20 question version, but to spice it up, we're moving into the hundreds and thousands. Some are a doddle. Some may scar you for life. Some are very US specific. Some are very UK specific. Sorry, none are very Aus-specific. Or anywhere else that I haven't lived. Enjoy. Or hate me. Or ignore me

180 SOAIAT
212 BPOWIDF
313 TACFDM
366 DIALY
454 GIAP
535 MOC
646 MPITHOC
660 FIAF
666 NOTB
747 BJJ
1040 USIITR
1066 BOH
1597 ENIFS
1760 YIAM
1776 DOI
2468 M
4472 FS
6765 TNIFS
7926 DOEAEIM
8848 HOMEIM

Slight hint: If it's a measurement, then unit of measurement is part of the description... e.g. WOBIP could be Weight Of Buddha In Pounds.
