We call them "Flounces" actually.

I've chosen to read it as "fluid ounces" for years, never once questioning "how is a fluid ounce different from a regular one?".

It's the Murikan way to copy milliliters, which are the same as cubic centimeters volumetrically.

Fluid ounces are cubic nurples.

Huh? I just did a conversion and it says 1 fluid ounce equals 30 milliliters

The conversion process takes many computing cycles. I don't recommend typing it into Google too many times or it will cause brownouts in North Dakota.
