Some of my favorites:
nanoacre = about 4 square millimeters
microfortnight = about 1.2 seconds
beard-second = 5-10 nanometers (depending on who you ask), or the length an average beard grows in one second

kilosecond: 11.57 days
and fun to say, but never useful:
gigasecond: 31.68 years
* 60 seconds per minute
* 60 minutes per hour: 3600 seconds per hour
* 1 kilosecond = 16 minutes and 40 seconds
* 24 hours per day: 86,400 +/- 1 seconds per day
* 1,000,000 / 86,400 ~= 11.57
