Unit Definition (goad)
The goad is a traditional unit of distance sometimes used in measuring cloth. One goad is equal to 54 inches or 1.5 yards (1.3716 meters). A goad was originally a spear; later it was a pointed rod used for prodding animals to get a move on. The unit must have originated as the length of such an instrument.

Unit Definition (fist)
The fist is an informal unit of distance equal approximately to the hand (10 centimeters or 4 inches). The unit represents the width of a clenched fist.
