What's easier for the typical uninformed person on the street to say? Gauges or stretched earlobe piercings?
For better or worse, "gauges' has now entered the vernacular of body modification language. When someone asks me about my stretched ear piercings and they use the term gauges, I instantly know what they are talking about. The smaller jewelry is, after all, measured in gauges so it's not as if the term is unrelated to its function.

but it's like calling your car "miles". gauges is a measurement not a name for jewelry.
Everyone I know uses the word gauges. Is this like one of those "it's pop in chicago and soda in New Jersey and dr. pepper in the south" sort of things?

True, but the actual jewelry was referred to as gauges several times near the end of the video.
It was just vague and confusing and, well, bad.

not really, and it's "coke" in the south.
Like others have said, gauge is a form of measurement. Saying you are gauging your ears would be like saying you are inching something instead of measuring it.
