fluid ounce
Two tablespoons' worth
A fluid ounce is a unit of liquid volume.
In the US system, it equals about 29.6 milliliters; in the British imperial system, about 28.4 milliliters.
Despite the name, fluid ounces measure volume, not weight—a fluid ounce of honey weighs more than a fluid ounce of water.
