(Is the following True?)
The phrase rCLa CH over six footrCY likely refers to a "CH" being a shorthand for "cattle horse" or possibly "Clydesdale horse," where "over six foot" indicates the height of the horse, measuring over six feet tall at the withers (the ridge between the shoulder blades).
In contexts involving horses, height is typically measured in hands, where one hand equals four inches. Thus, "over six foot" would mean that the horse is quite tall, likely intended to convey an impressive stature. If this is related to something else, please provide more context!

I presume(?) you found this expression in a context including horses. If
so, why not say more about that context? If not, why did you assume
anything like the above? I may be missing something here but it seems
like the question is totally from left field. By the way, I don't know
where the cliche "from left field" comes so add that to the questions
being asked here.

rCLrCa.a CH over six footrCarCY --- What does this mean? (He says "De-SHOVE-ney" -- is it his dry humor?)
He's saying he's a "ch over six foot", meaning he's an inch over six
feet tall, which is much taller than Duchovney. Listen to the
context.

I thought that might be it. But is "a c-h" for "an inch" a common >expression, in your experience?

A CH is a very small distance.; much less than an inch.
It is said that a BCH or an RCH is the smallest, but I have done no >research on it, though I would like to.
At the risk of offending Stefan, I will tell you that I learned of this >measurement when serving in the RCAF.
CH stands for 'Cunt Hair'
A BCH is a blonde one, and an RCH is a red one.
The phrase was very common in the RCAF and not quite as common in the >civilian population.

It was obvious from context that it referred to measurement, but a
"cunt hair" was not the unit of measurement that came to my mind.
