Ok, I knew I had seen this word some where so I went and looked in my little pocket dictionary and this is what it said.
ker••floo••ey
Pronunciation: (kur-fl OO'E ), [key]
——adv. go kerflooey,
Informal.to cease functioning, esp. suddenly and completely; fall apart; fail: As soon as the storm hit, every light in town went kerflooey.
Once I found this I knowticed that above it was this definition for Ker, so in answer to your question of what Ker is Etaoin here you go:
ker-
an unstressed syllable prefixed to onomatopoeic and other expressive words, usually forming adverbs or interjections: kerflop; kerplunk; ker-splosh.
Also, ca-,ka-.

Also "kertains".
Any kerflop, kerplunk, ker-splosh or even kerfluffle which becomes more than simply a mess for someone to clean up is "kertains" in the end for somebody.

This is my 800th post. Please hold your applause.Let the music play! And every single (one) was a homerun, Father Steve. P.S. Do u get to take your batting average with you when you switch jerseys? BTW gadflies only keep track of 'near misses'. I had a close call just the other day. Almost knocked me out for the season. There's always someone swinging at a gadfly. Everyone thinks they've got a score to settle, especially your heavy hitters*. Gnat King Cole used to say: "It's Gnat for everyone." *We don't much bother with anyone else. A gnat gets a rush out of fanning the guy with the biggest stick. A gadfly is nature's way of keeping everything in balance. It's called gnatural justice.We like to say "The bigger they come, the harder they fall." A gnat is a slugger's biggest fan. Little things count a lot ... even if they don't count for much.

The whole "toyadz" website is down, for some reason. Perhaps they are dusting the toys. Be patient.
