Re: [USMA:41683] bovoclastNo, Patrick: those of us who support U.S. metrication 
seek to eliminate the sacred cow of customary measurement units. We are the 
bovoclasts.

  >From the "Slangsite" slang dictionary:
   
  bovoclast: One who is willing to shatter sacred cows. More at iconoclast. 
  Example: We've always done it that way. Why does that stupid bovoclast think 
we need to change it?
