What does KLICK mean in Scrabble?
noun
informalslang
A kilometre, especially as used in military or informal speech.
Soldiers and pilots adopted klick as a quick way to say kilometre when giving distances over radio. The clipped form is easier to hear clearly than the full word, which matters when communication has to be fast and unambiguous. From military use the word spread into general informal English, especially in North America, wherever people talk about distance in rough, casual terms.
