   • 2013 August 3, “Boundary problems”, in The Economist‎, volume 408, number 8847:

     Economics is a messy discipline: too fluid to be a science, too rigorous to be an art. Perhaps it is fitting that economists’ most-used metric, gross domestic product (GDP), is a tangle too. GDP measures the total value of output in an economic territory. Its apparent simplicity explains why it is scrutinised down to tenths of a percentage point every month.

It bubbled inside, and it sounded like a hundred simultaneous cases of indigestion which echoed off the rock around it.

2. (mathematical analysis) A function which satisfies a particular set of formal conditions, created to generalize the notion of the distance between two points. Formally, a real-valued function ${\displaystyle d}$ on ${\displaystyle M\times M}$, where ${\displaystyle M}$ is a set, is called a metric if (1) ${\displaystyle d(x,y)=0}$ if and only if ${\displaystyle x=y}$, (2) ${\displaystyle d(x,y)=d(y,x)}$ for all pairs ${\displaystyle (x,y)}$, and (3) ${\displaystyle d}$ obeys the triangle inequality.
