I don't think it "stands for" anything. Probably dates back to a need to be able to "pronounce" "KP." ___

yes, half a ton. but I forget what the "I" is for, unless it's "KI" pounds.

40 winks, a nap, a snooze or a doze. berts gonna have one right now. zzzzz.....

I think it is 1000 pounds, I remember Kips from a long ago statics class in the US. Kilo-pounds?
