Yea exactly. Both variants are funny in their own way. And I don’t think anybody thinks that someone who’s doing a big/small dick joke is seriously referring to their actual size.

Yeah, same. What a BS statement above lol
That’s absolutely right, but ignores context. People often use months even when the exact age isn’t relevant to the other person.
If I (as someone who doesn’t have kids and don’t know anything about e.g. what behavior is appropriate at what month at all) ask a friend “how old is she now?”, I’d be fine with a “about a year and a half” or “she’s getting 1 year old next month” or whatever. I don’t need an exact month cause 1 month difference doesn’t matter to me in a casual smalltalk/conversation setting. I wouldn’t know “oh, that’s the month she might start pointing at things” anyways.
Of course I’m aware that parents are probably just used to it, so I’m not mad when someone says it in months. But I’d prefer it in years if I had the choice.
To reuse your analogy, I would say 226/40R19 to my mechanic, but to my mother I’d say I’m buying “big wheels”. Cause she doesn’t know what exactly 226/40R19 is/means, so “big wheels” conveys the information better to her.
