Ummm, Larry... it is metric, henceforth not a ****load but an assload.
Metric assload.
You _could_ say metric ****load, but it's just not done. It's like
saying one tenth of a foot. (Yes, and I know...there is such a thing
as a tenth of an inch.)
Metric assload, Larry.

I get real testy when people keep getting there UOM all mixed up..like
their tiches and tads, smidgens and c-hairs.
