did you ever want to know (one) possible meaning of "k-rad"? well. i have reason to believe it is as follows...

first. k would be an abriviation for kilo. 10^3, or one thousand as you yanks call it. rad of course would be "rad" a term coined somware in the 70s. used in the late late late 70's / most of 80's. k-rad. so. by refering to one's self as k-rad, or refering to an object or action as k-rad would mean someware along the lines of "this object/person/action is rad times 10 to the 3rd power. simple.

now then. with modern abriviations for larger units of measurement encourperated into todays vernacular. k-rad can be safly be phased out, replaced with the much cooler m-rad or g-rad, or even if the situation demands t-rad. mega, giga, and tera respectivly. so. as you can clearly see. my offer, t-rad, is exactly 1000000000 times cooler than k-rad, as t-rad is divisible by k-rad 1000000000 times.
