This is going to sound like the stupidest question ever, but...

How much, exactly, is a 'cup' of something? Does it depend on what it's a cup of? I've never been able to find measuring cups, so is this just an American measurement?

For an American cup, a standard teacup is usually close enough. (Most of the solid things that are measured with cups are things where volume's not going to be a terribly accurate measure anyway, as been's pointed out, so usually a little sloppiness in the measurement is fine.)
