I meant the term basin, just pointing out how I didnt intuit what that was.
https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/basin
A) an open usually circular vessel with sloping or curving sides used typically for holding water for washing
B) chiefly British : a bowl used especially in cooking
C) the quantity contained in a basin spilled a basin of water on the floor
Not only is that not a measurement the US uses, the only geographical location mentioned in the definition is "chiefly British."
So, uh, "no."
