Who's afraid of Kram Prix?

Does anyone know what is Kram Prix (KP)? It seems to be the talk of the town these days. Over dinner, I must have heard it mentioned more than 500 times, leaving "cheap, cheap, cheap" a distant second at (only) 233 mentions.

What exactly is this KP phenomenon? It seems to have captured everyone's "infrustuation" (frustation to the power of infatuation) by storm. Strange to see people talking animatedly about it and laughly aloud uncontrollably. At such intensity, it is almost impossible to tell if the afflicted interlocutors are grimacing from some undefined jaw pain, or relishing in every moment of such a catharsis. Maybe both?

Even more bizarre is that I find my dinner kakee, clearly not known for public display of emotion much less laughter, suppressing with little success a roaring belly laugh. I hope he does not sustain internal injuries from the feat.

Now, if the KP syndrome is going to seize us, I better not be the last to know, ok? In case -- we never know -- KP is pernicious as the aedes mozzie, and deadly like the unprecedented flu bug tipped to turn the world upside down.

So, what's next? Well, knowing some basic vocabulary may help:

-- Kram-pai (the way to toast when you have the world on your side or at your feet)
-- Kramming (the new name to intense intellectual exchange, otherwise known clinically as IIE?)
-- Krammy's (the ultimate creative industry awards. Very few qualify. Dogs may apply; they stand to enjoy certain privileges in some cases. Or could this be the name of the exclusive kitchen serving certified kramlets, that famed dish that Krammers feed on 24/7, BLD?)
-- Krammer (follower of "The Kram Way"?)
-- s-Kram (what obese rugby players do when they desparately need a break during a match that seems to last forever?)

-- Kram Prix Index (the revolutionary KPI that measures a person's worth past, present and in the future. The key factors are rate of music downloads, speed on online games, audibility of an afternoon snore, and depth of silence when relied upon to speak up...the list goes on as everyday brings new surprises)
-- Krammit! (a hollow expletive central to the art of saying seemingly something and meaning absolutely nothing. This expression is ironcially used most often when a Krammer misses its KPI miserably, or scores amazingly)

Anything else....?

While I am not about to yell "Long live Kram Prix" just yet -- if I ever fathom a reason to, that is -- may I just ask the more informed among us if "Kram Prix" does sound somewhat, er, crude?

(Nevermind, it could just be the influence of the half-past-six level of local dialects I have tried to acquire in my slightly more nimble days).
