k-

[rare; poss fr. kilo- prefix] Extremely. Rare among hackers, but quite common among crackers and {warez d00dz} in compounds such as k-kool /K´kool´/, k-rad /K´rad´/, and k-awesome /K´aw`sm/. Also used to intensify negatives; thus, k-evil, k-lame, k-screwed, and k-annoying. Overuse of this prefix, or use in more formal or technical contexts, is considered an indicator of {lamer} status.
