klick

Either a kilometre or a kilometre per hour ("kilometer" for Americans) depending on context. Pronounced as "click" but always written with an initial 'k'.

Common in Canada. In the US it's strongly associated with the military.

See k which can also be used for "kilometre" but not for "kilometre per hour".

"It's about two klicks up the road." (Distance: 2 km)
"We were doing ninety klicks." (Speed: 90 km/hr)
