pargeon

The pargeon (parg, if two syllables is simply too much to bear) is the unit of time measurement officially sanctioned by the Confed Council. Of course, it usually takes several pargs for them to accomplish anything, so most agree that they should have sanctioned something longer. The origins of the parg are unclear, mostly because none have yet managed to read through the Confed's documentation on the subject. Some say it's the incubation period of a meteor beetle, but pub wisdom insists it's actually the time needed to pour a complete tamo of beer at the standard tap. Any Mooncurser worth his salt would surely check the accuracy of this claim first hand at the Pargeon Taproom!
