A certain type of grading curve, usually above 30%, which is instituted by a teacher in his or her course when he or she has knowledge of the almost impossibility of succeeding at said course with an uncurved grading system. A Kro curve is usually inordinate and, unlike other grading curves, carries no punitive connotations and is regularly instituted in said course. Usually, a Kro curve is accompanied by mass cheating and/or no regulation of when class assignments are done or turned in. However, even with this kind of curve, said class is usually still extremely challenging.

Its origin is not known.

A rather arousing "curse", first brought to attention by the popular music group, "Cute is What We Aim For."
The "curse" has been argued to just be a metaphor, just for use in the song, but further debate with other listeners has proved otherwise.
When a woman has the "Curse of Curves", it generally means she is a nice, sweet person, who has a curvy figure (large breasts, thin/slender midsection, large buttocks), and she is swarmed by men whom she has no interest in, and there is nothing she can nor wants to do about it.
