k- pref.
[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.
