144 and a score is 20. These are antiquated English terms,

A gross is equal to a dozen dozen, i.e. 12 × 12 = 144.

It can be used in duodecimal counting.

The term is often used in commercial contexts implying a quantity of 144 items. A count of 1728 or a dozen gross equals a great gross.

A score is a unit of twenty, e.g. "four score and seven years ago" = eighty-seven years ago.
