1 Stone is exactly 14 pounds in weight. Not ABOUT! It is spot on!
It is a british weight and it cheers us up because 12 stone sounds better than 168 pounds!
We also use pints which is equal to equal 20 fluid oz.
We like to confuse people really.

Those people are most likely from the UK. A stone is a common unit of weight measurement there. It's equal to about 14 pounds. So, somebody who said they weighed eight stone would weigh 112 pounds.
