A system of measurement, used by most of the world, based off of units that make logical sense, unlike the arbitrary US system people have grown accustomed to.
1 kilometer is 1000 meters, 1 meter is 100 centimeters, 1 centimeter is 10 millimiters.
1 mile is 1760 yards, 1 yard is 3 feet, 1 foot is 12 inches.
The United States government's hopes of switching to the metric system were dashed once they realized it would cost billions of dollars.
Me: Yeah we went 135 miles per hour for about 5 minutes, the cop was gone.
European cousin: Cool?
