A kilogram (symbol: kg) is a unit of measure for the mass of an object, and is part of the decimalised Metric System, used worldwide in the International System of Units. The term is commonly used (along with its colloquial variants "keys", "kees", and "kilos") by the drug dealing community to refer to the size of their drug shipments, as weight is usually the simplest measurement to obtain when dealing with very large quantities. According to urban legend, the use of the term originally became popular amongst drug dealers because, owing to the official use of Imperial Units in the United States, police and other authorities did not realise a conversation involving "keys" related to the exchange of narcotics, although the truth of this story is questionable.
