Joule Misanthropy

The avoidance of using the Joule as a unit of energy. Sometimes used equivocally, especially in the United States, in describing a strong preference for the use of the calorie. Specifically, Joule Misanthropy refers to those who castigate or otherwise judge humans who do express energy as joules. Joule Misanthropists are known as being particularly intransigent in their anti-joule stance.

This inclination and its relatively widespread popularity are thought to have been originated by those who opposed the popularity of James Prescott Joule. This movement probably began after Joule famously spurned William Thomson (later Lord Kelvin); the two had planned an experiment together, which Joule then neglected in favor of marriage and a honeymoon. Although essentially left standing at the flask, Lord Kelvin understood and offered his congratulations to the happy couple. However, Kelvin supporters were enraged and began an anti-Joule campaign. This caught hold particularly in the Americas, probably due the residual anti-English sentiment of the time.

Formally, Joule Misanthropy is defined as the the use of a unit of energy other than the joule in a context in which the use of said unit would generally be considered illogical or not practical. For example, expressing the energy required by a human to lift a small object in electronvolts would constitute Joule Misanthropy.

Jules Winnfield 

Jules Winnfield

A character from Pulp Fiction portrayed by Samuel L. Jackson.

Jules was a hitman / assassin / hired goon working
for Marcellus Wallace until he and his partner;
Vincent Vega witnessed, what Jules refers to as,
Divine Intervention where they were shot at but none of
the bullets hit.
Now Jules "walks the Earth". Vincent calls him a bum
for doing this.

He has a variant of The Bibles chapter Ezekiel 25:17
memorised, which he recites before killing someone.
As its some "chill shit" to say to someone before they die,
not because he's religious.

He doesn't eat pork, because pig is a filthy animal, not
because he's Jewish or Muslim

He owns a Bad Motherfucker wallet.

Also, apparently he's the "foot fuckin' master"
and he's cool like The Fonz
Jules Winnfield quotes:

"What" ain't no country I've ever heard of, they speak English in What?

Do you know what they call a Quarter Pounder with cheese in France?

Shit negro! That's all you had to say!

Big Kahuna burger?! I hear they have some tasty burgers.

Eatin' a bitch out, and givin' a bitch a foot massage ain't even the same fuckin' thing.

Tell that bitch to chill out!
Say "Bitch be cool" !

English motherfucker! Do you speak it?!

I'm a mushroom cloud layin' motherfucker, motherfucker!
Everytime my fingers touch brain I'm superfly T.N.T,
I'm the Guns of the Navarone

Hamburgers! The cornerstone of any nutritious breakfast.

Shut the fuck up, fat man!
