Developed in TWAR (Thread Without a Reason). It was determined that "work" was not a sufficiently cacophonous word for such a noxious place/activity.

"Krinch" was developed to convey, with its several hard soul-crushing consonants, the feeling of being at work.

Krinch was used consistently within the Thread Without a Reason as a replacement for the word "work" and there was a great outcry against it if w*rk was used instead.
