Metric Hour

It is a measurement of time longer than one hour, approximately an 1hr10mins to 1hr30mins long. It is a guesstimation.

Its origin is that metric measurements are slightly off from standard measurements: a meter is slightly longer than a yard, a liter is smaller than a quarter...etc

cereal hour

Similar to happy hour, but with cereal. When the local grocery and drug stores are having sales on cereal, and you just buy as much boxes as you want to eat as much as you want in one hour. Good for when you are just bored and hungry.
