I don’t get US spelling of “meter” for the metric system they don’t even use. My car dashboard is two meters wide. Speedometer and tachometer. It’s probably about half a metre wide.

I dunno what a kilometer would be. A device that can measure anything in thousands of something; weight, volume, speed, etc.

“The scale says you weigh 0.07 metric tonnes.”

“Oh my god, I’m so fat.”

“No, that’s only 70kg, it’s this stupid kilometer. Makes everything seem bigger than it is.”

Now that you have it open, could you find a funny compound noun or two? I love those!

How about Geschwindigkeitsbegrenzung? That’s my personal favorite, though it lacks umlauts.
