k- pref. Extremely. Not commonly used 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.
