Kirk (verb)
/kɜ rk/
kirks, kirking, kirked
Definitions:
1. (Transitive) To kill or assassinate someone, especially by means of targeted or politically motivated violence.

That startup got kirked by the regulatory crackdown.
The idea got kirked before it even launched.
Etymology:
From the name Charles “Charlie” Kirk, whose assassination (Sept 10 2025) has become a reference point for targeted political killing. Over time, the proper name has been converted into a verb to express the act of being killed in that mold.
Usage Notes:
Use “kirked” (past tense) to describe someone who’s been killed (or figuratively eliminated).
Use “kirking” to describe the process, threat or act of being killed or eliminated.
Since the origin is quite recent and tied to a specific event, the usage may be seen as informal, dark-humored, or potentially insensitive depending on context.
For figurative uses (career ends, project failures) clarify via context to avoid confusion with literal killing.
