    "Kilo" is often used by itself as an abbreviation for "kilogram". Also, technical people often use the term "k", pronounced like the letter, to refer to a thousand of something, especially units of money or population. On the other hand, the kilometre is sometimes informally abbreviated to "k"; in this context it is widely used in the United States in reference to running races (for example, a "10k"). "Click" or "klick" can also be heard in informal usage, especially in the U.S. military.
