The phrase "a pint's a pound the world around" refers to the fact that in the measurement system that uses pounds and pints, a pint of water weighs approximately one pound. This is because a pint of water weighs about 16 ounces, which is equivalent to one pound. It is a common mnemonic to remember this relationship between pints and pounds in the Imperial measurement system.
