I think it's more about a Star Wars reference - as in "Imperial" cruisers.
Contrary to popular belief, nobody owes you anything.

What about United States Customary Units[^]? 
How do you know so much about swallows? Well, you have to know these things when you're a king, you know.

Wow, that's one mighty woosh for the CP collective, isn't it? They can't seriously have failed to recognise the Empire in the Imperial, can they? Makes you wonder why you bother!
Let's give them a go with the introduction from this week's Uxbridge English Dictionary and see if the penny drops!
Quote: Take, for instance, the difference in the use of the words 'defence' and 'resistance'. Resistance is the act of opposing or withstanding a hostile force either covertly or deliberately with violence while defence is the wooden thing in de garden.

Interesting - on my PC [Win7, Chrome Version 44.0.2403.89 m (64-bit)] it's fine - full screen and pretty.
On my tablet [Android 4.4, Chrome v43.0.2357.93) it's tiny and pixelated.
Both from the same link, and the Metric version is full screen on both.

I was unaware that the U.K. has a space navy. 
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

As freaky as that was, having something take over your body, is a bit more scary to me.

Whats the difference between a Duck?
