The Vista: a proposal for the SI unit for failure
Like the Farad, the Vista is an overly large unit for everyday use. Should you hit a patch of black ice and skid your car into a busload of nuns, you might say “I’ve had an awful day, it’s at least 600 milliVistas of fail”. NASA smearing the Mars lander across the surface of the planet after confusing metres and feet scores 3 kiloVista. Stubbing your toe getting out of the shower is around 2-3 microVistas, rising to 80 µVi if you cause a fracture.

(-)6 GVi is the measurement I’ve recorded for this proposal. I bet we can go even lower.
