What is the unit of english weight called "y"?

I'm american and an english friend referred their weight as to "58 y" i don't know this unit of weight and It is not in any standard converter that i could find, if you are english any you know the unit "Y" please tell me the relationship to american pounds. or could you give me a link with a converter, or tell me how much 58y in american pounds is.What is the unit of english weight called "y"?
"Y" is not a british english unit of weight. It is an abbreviation for "yards" but that doesn't make any sense here.



I think the other answer is right, it was "why" as in "why are you asking".



UK doctors etc would use kilograms. However if somebody said their weight was "five eight" (not "fifty-eight") that would probably mean "five stones eight pounds" or 78 pounds. Or if they were talking about a new born baby, when "five eight" would probably mean "five pounds eight ounces" (which is a rather small baby, of course)What is the unit of english weight called "y"?
probably 58 kilograms being they are metric. they said y as in why are you asking.

roughly 127 lbs.

thats my guess as to the y
