I can't help, but have a look PK; there are a few on the list that might fit.

How does this fit into Funny Stuff - Jokes and Humour? Or have I completely missed the punch line?

Maybe the punch line is:

I'm guessing that it's Player_versus_player#Player_killing, which is some kind of gamer slang.

I googled "I pk You" and from the hits I think it's definitely Player Killer/killing .

That is the most likely place to locate the term "PK".

when two person fight, we will say A pk B.

What we say in the US is "A verses B" (A vs B) or A knocked out B (A KO B).

In soccer, PK means Penalty Kick (1 kicker against the goalie).

I'm an online gamer and I've never heard of PK. I play Delta Force 2 and Blachawk Down, and killing is involved.

Playing a few online games does not a gamer make. It's whole wacky subculture.

PK originates from online text adventure games called MUDs (Multi User Dungeons), I used to play these a bit while at university.

Games like Counter Strike, BHD etc dont really use the phrase as you are always killing others, frag is the common phrase here for killing another player. With MUD's PKing was quite often banned and was usually occasional even on those where it was allowed.

PvP is the common phrase used now on MMO (Massivley Multiplayer Online) games meaning player versus player.

Wow....I hadn't heard that term in awhile. Brings back memories of spare time with too little money.

thanks for your kind reply.
and why I asked it is long times before, an American told me P refered a word which means equally,each other. and K means killing.
SO I want to know P refers to which word?
