One of the more ridiculous units (that's actually used) we've encountered is the foe, a unit used in some parts of astrophysics. It stands for "forty-one ergs" (it's not equal to forty-one ergs)
I should clarify in something that isn't directed at a specific person, the unit's name isn't just arbitrary, it is actually 10⁴¹ ergs and they dropped the "ten to the" part.
