A subculture gaining traction worldwide, brought about by the ever expanding technologies capable of monitoring performance and bodily functions. Metrics ostensibly meant to help individuals perform better, lose weight, sleep better or just feel better may impart helpful information but also feed a never ending spiral of performance obsession and weight loss fixation. Replacing intuition about one's own body with a set of numbers may move the individual further from reality than closer to it.

Get the Metric Inchmug. 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

Get the Metric Hourmug. A unit in the Metric Fucktonne system. The measure of fuckweight exactly 2.20462 fuckpounds in the imperial fuckton system and are used in context to imply quantity of force put on an object going toward the ground. Although this term is relatively rare now because Metric Fuckton supersedes the Metric Fuckilogram making the Metric Fuckilogram redundant.
Q: Who says "Metric Fuckilogram anymore?" A: The fucking retard who wrote this goddamn definition that's who.
