The special move commonly used by experimental band Indiephone during instances of mortal combat.
During a spirited performance of their hit Metrixxx, Orpheus Higginsigginsabottle-Smyth (the EU High Comissioner for Units at the time), jumped onto the stage and began to verbally abuse frontman The Ridiculous Sleeve for what he called his uneuropean propaganda.
The High Comissioner was not heard from until 3 days afterwards, when he emerged, naked and shaking, from a sewage pipe near Cardiff. When asked to recount his ordeal, his only words were "They went metric on my arse".

The Metric System is the punishment technique used in every country in the world except the United States for disobedient children in primary school. When a student behaves poorly, an instructor may use a meter stick to reprimand said student. In fact, the weapon wielded by instructors, the meter stick, is regulated by the IMSA (International Metric System Association).
Example of Metric System in use:
Instructor: You failed your test, Thomas
Thomas: You failed to educate me.
Instructor: THE FUCK YOU SAY TO ME TOMMY!?! *pulls meter stick out of pocket and beats child
Instructor: You failed your test, Thomas
Thomas: You failed to educate me.
Instructor: THE FUCK YOU SAY TO ME TOMMY!?! *pulls meter stick out of pocket and beats child

Get the metric system mug.
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*
American: We don't know how.

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?
