Of those, the abfarad is the most amazing (and useless), considering that the biggest capacitors barely make it into the millifarad range. As I remember, 1 F is the approximate capacitance of the Earth.
Given that a billionth of an ohm isn't very practical, either, I've never had cause to find out whether it's nanoohm or nanohm (corollary of megohm).
