Metric

What do we mean by metric?

A measure for something; a means of deriving a quantitative measurement or approximation for otherwise qualitative phenomena (especially used in engineering).

A function for the measurement of the "distance" between two points in some metric space: it is a real-valued function d(x,y) between points x and y satisfying the following properties: (1) "non-negativity": d(x,y) \ge 0 , (2) "identity of indiscernibles": d(x,y) = 0 \mbox{ iff } x=y , (2) "symmetry": d(x,y) = d(y,x) , and (3) "triangle inequality": d(x,y) \le d(x,z) + d(z,y) .

A metric tensor.

A) The metric system; a system used to measure/weigh things. B) A Canadian indie band. Urban Dictionary

Horrible band consisting of a bunch of retards. 60% of the reason they suck is because they suck dicks on the side to pay rent, the other 40% is that they're Canadian. Not saying all Canadians suck, just the semi-sucessful ones. Urban Dictionary

1. A system of measurement that makes more sense, is easier to comprehend and is standardized such that it is awesome to use. 2. An adjective that describes something as making more sense, better, and/or more awesome than any other possibility. Urban Dictionary

Chill, euphoric, awesome. Better than the usual. Something similar to the feeling of an awesome rave. Probably drawn from the idea that the metric system is "better" than other systems. Urban Dictionary

An amazing Canadian band. The lead singer is Emily Haines who also does come vocals for Stars and Broken Social Scene. They can be found at www.ilovemetric.com Urban Dictionary

A modifier meaning "even more than" Most commonly used with buttload, assload, or shitload. The modifier 'metric' has been co-opted from the term 'metric ton,' which is 205 pounds more than a 'ton.' So, an 'assload' is a lot, but a 'metric assload' is even more. Urban Dictionary

Metric: ur anti-establishment, anti-gov and conspiracy theory loving tool the opposite of standard tools hence the name metric also see anarchist Urban Dictionary

The adjective 'metric' defines a unit of measurment that is included in the Internationl System of Units (SI). All countries except the USA, Liberia, and Myanmar use the SI and it is furthermore the only system of units used in scientific work. Urban Dictionary

A kickass Canadian Indie band. Emily Haines (the lead singer) redefines awesome. Finally, the Canadians made something Americans will love. Urban Dictionary

Call center slang. This word encompasses the statistics that are taken on call center agents to determine their worth. Usually includes average handle time (AHT), wrap, hold time and a few other basic metrics as well as a few 'spin' metrics added by the client to give the client a feeling of control.
