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."
*opens a german dictionary*
*it says „Meter“*
*shrugs*
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.
