Mederic

Mederic is a very solitary person, out of choice however, not his choice. If he feels depressed, he has a tendency to overeat and that is why his body size is unusually generous. He can be contradictory cause he is vegan but still loves milk. He is a person of multiple beliefs, which is why he will enjoy a life of chastity.

Mederic, can you come clean the table? Mederic, have you finished washing the dishes? Mederic, have you thought about taking out the trash?

The metric system is a consistent and coherent system of units. In other words, it fits together very well and calculations are easy because it is decimal. This is a big advantage for use in the home, education, industry and science.

metric system

Something that America will never be able to muster the intelligence to use.

Canadian: Why don't you guys use the metric system?
American: We don't know how.
Canadian: It's simple. There are 10 millimeters in a centimeter, 10 centimeters in a decimeter, 10 decimeters in a meter...
American: *Brain overheats and explodes*

metric system

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?

Metric

Bad in the sense that something has gone awry, or that someone has caused something to go awry; Messed up.

Bob - "Hey, did you just hit that guy in the face for no reason?"

Steve - "Yeah, so?"

Bob - "That's pretty darn Metric of you."
-----------------------
Comparing the Metric and Secondary (Or standard as some call it) measurement systems in America, we find that the majority of people are more familiar with Secondary, and as such 'Metric' is awkward, different, bad, or crazy. In this sense, 'Metric' can be used to describe the attitude or actions of a person, or something else that has happened that was unintended and harmful or unwanted.
