A peck is an imperial and U.S. customary unit of dry volume, equivalent in each of these systems to 8 dry quarts, or 16 dry pints. Two pecks make a kenning (obsolete), and four pecks make a bushel.
In Scotland, the peck was used as a dry measure until the introduction of imperial units as a result of the Weights and Measures Act of 1824. The peck was equal to about 9 litres (in the case of certain crops, such as wheat, peas, beans and meal) and about 13 litres (in the case of barley, oats and malt). A firlot was equal to 4 pecks and the peck was equal to 4 lippies or forpets.
The peck occurs in such phrases as "eat a peck of dirt before you die" or "I love you a bushel and a peck and a hug around the neck." or "Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers". It is also used to abbreviate the pectoral muscle in the chest
I always though a peck was a plain old fashined quick kiss! Like a peck on the cheek! Although birds do peck at their food! Confused, I wasn't but I am now, lol.
