       I am going to start using metric prefixes on discrete countable objects because I can..."Yea we had a huge turnout at concert, there were 2.3 Kilopeople there!""I just bought a bag of rice with about 2 Megagrains in it, should last me awhile."

       @freemo that would be a good exercise on mental gymnastics- at least for those that arent familiar with the systems. i suspect that the part of the brain that would translate this is the same as that when someone is bilingual and merges multiple languages in the same sentence.

       @freemo just dont mix in verbage like "click" when referencing distance, because they might get confused with other meanings... "There were a lot of fans- clicks as far as the eye can see!"fyi:: in case anyone who didn't know, a 'click' in modern urban social slang is a stereotype-categorizee group of people. whereas a military use of 'klick' refers to a kilometer.

       @lucifargundam Actually click is not slang at all, nor is it spelled that way (though it is pronounced that way). The word you are looking for is "clique". It is proper and formal english and means a closely connected group (socially speaking a group where every member is a friend with every other, and usually exclusive to new members). It does not relate to stereotypes either.The term is actually so formal it is even used in math to represent a group of things where each thing knows about every other directly. This is often used in Graph Theory to represent a subgraph or graph that is fully connected (every node connects to every other node).

       @freemo Interesting, I learned something new today!  The only rebute I have is that my old HS must have been using it incorrectly because that was how it was used at that time. But I suppose we cant expect all HighSchoolers to accurately use choice vocabularly.Additionally, did not know about its usage in math or that there was a subject called 'Graph Theory', though i'm not surprised.

       @freemo @deesapoetra I lost touch with all my high school friends, acquaintences in college and former coworkers from a few years ago.  I still barely keep in contact with my former coworkers from my old lab…
