Pounds abbreviates to lbs because lbs is actually an abbreviation of libres, which is latin for 'pounds'.  Latin is used for abbreviations a lot because its use in the sciences percolates into everyday English, especially for weights and measures.

ppl stands for people.\n\nYou see, the phrase is meant to tell people not to lie.  It started off with a story of Pinocchio, a wooden puppet who wanted to be a real boy.  A fairy came along and cast a spell on him; if he wanted to be a real boy, he would have to do something courageous, however, if he lied, his nose would grow longer and it would be very obvious that he lied.\n\nTherefore, in the same way, the phrase is to tell people that if they lie, it would soon be exposed and there's no good in lying, because it would only make yourself look stupid and embarrassed(imagine yourself with a long nose) in front of other people.  \n\n\nBesides, you can't take back your words.

The abbreviation "lbs." certainly seems like a strange way to write "pounds," until you consider the origin of the word. Like many terms used in science, the word "pound" has a Latin background. It comes from "libra pondo," the Latin expression for a "pound of weight." The English word "pound" comes from "pondo," and the abbreviation "lb." comes from "libra." When you are referring to more than one pound, an "s" is added to the abbreviation to make it plural, so it becomes "lbs."

Asterisk.\n\nAnd don't give the points to Smiddy, he posted first but he modified his answer. :-)

Nothing.  LLB is the abreviation for the bachelors or undergraduate law degree (in latin).\n\nThe other abreviation is J.D. Doctor of Jurisprudence or Juris Doctor, depending on where you go to school.\n\nIt all depends on what school you went to.

I'm guessing L.H. stands for Langston Hughes. The first website is about him. The second is about the Harlem Renaissance.

The connection with Latin "libra" meaning "scales" is correct.  But WHY (you may ask) use a Latin abbreviation instead of an English one?\n\nFirst note that "lb(s)" is one of MANY Latin abbreviations used in English. \n\nThis is rooted in the important role Latin played for centuries as THE universal academic language in Europe.    Eventually officials and scholars begn to write in their native languages.  But "many Latin abbreviations continued to be used due to their precise simplicity and also Latin's status as a learned language."\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Latin_abbreviations\n(Also includes a list of many of the abbreviations that are still used.)\n\n--------\nA related (?) observation on usage --\n\nIn general, when you see the Latin abbreviation, do NOT speak the Latin expression.  Use its English equivalent.  (Most people do that for abbreviations where they are not sure exactly what the Latin is, but insist on saying "et cetera" rather than simply "and so forth" or even "id est" instead of just "that is".)
