  @shebang for engineering we use terms like kilopounds abbreviated to "kips"
  https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kip_(unit)
  And shorten kilo-psi (pounds per square inch) to "ksi" when talking about things like compressive strength of concrete.

    Kip (unit)
    
    A kip is a US customary unit of force. It equals 1000 pounds-force, and is used primarily by structural engineers to indicate forces where the value represented in pound-force is inefficient. Although uncommon, it is occasionally also considered a unit of mass, equal to 1000 pounds (i.e. one half of a short ton). Another use is as a unit of deadweight to compute shipping charges. 1 kip ≈ 4,448.222 N = 4.448222 kNThe name comes from combining the words kilo and pound; it is occasionally called a kilopound. Its symbol is kip, sometimes K (upper or lowercase), or less frequently, klb. When it is necessary to clearly distinguish it as a unit of force rather than mass, it is sometimes called the kip-force (symbol kipf or klbf). The symbol kp usually stands for the kilopond, a unit of force, or kilogram-force, used primarily in Europe prior to the introduction of SI units. The kip is also the name of a unit of mass equal to approximately 9.19 kilograms. This usage is obsolete, and was used in Malaysia. See also Short ton...

  @jeremiah @ChrisWilson Don't forget though, there are no rules preventing you from having kilomiles or megainches.

  @shebang @ChrisWilson that helps the ordinary person really get a grip on this very uniquely French contribution, thanks!

  @jeremiah @ChrisWilson These are all wrong though
  
  A meter is defined by something simple and easy to remember or calculate, "It is defined by taking the fixed numerical value of the speed of light in vacuum c to be 299792458 when expressed in the unit m⋅s−1, where the second is defined in terms of the caesium frequency ΔνCs."
