In general, if there's an abbreviation that doesn't make sense given the English word, Latin being involved is a good guess.
Like the elements on the periodic table that have symbols completely different from their name, like Au, Ag, Pb, Sn, K are all from the Latin name for those elements.

how would 15^(25/lb) work?
(Also, why is pound's symbol lb and not something like pd?)
Corkyskog@sh.itjust.works · 13 pts · 1y
Its 15.25/lb, and you know it.
LB stands for Libra Pondo. Its a latin relic from the Roman empire meaning pound by weight.
