"Thing"

When did "thing" become a unit of measurement?

My wife will often ask me for a "thing" of something, and she gets annoyed when I ask for clarification. Not sure what my response should be, I suppose.

My coworkers have been doing it, too. They seem to see the humor in my replies. Still, I have no idea when or why anyone started using the word "thing" as a unit of measurement. So freaking weird.
