Ko
Etymology
Borrowing from Japanese 劫 (kō)
Noun Edit
ko (uncountable)
Ko is a Japanese go term adopted into English usage. It describes a situation where two alternating single stone captures would repeat the original board position. The alternating captures could repeat indefinitely, preventing the game from ending. The ko rule resolves the situation.
You much play elsewhere at least once before you can go back to the alternating capture patten. The other side in term, must also play somewhere else first before come back to this alternating capture fight.
The term ko is also used more generally in reference to other repeating patterns and rules involving them, although superko is the general term for repetitions other than the take-and-take-back ko.

Get the Ko mug.
Get the Ko mug.A shy and friendly guy. He will claim his name is not an actual name, but it actually is the first letter for “possible” and “cute”. (His name deserves to be recognized in the dictionary. He’s hot and sexy and draws many girls attention. He is also really fashionable. He is a little lazy but knows when he needs to get his shit done. He is very considerate towards others and respects peoples spaces. He is not the best boyfriend but he is a loyal friend who you want to hold onto the rest of your life. Don’t date a Ko, you’ll end up in a wishy washy situation. Keep a Ko as your best friend!

Get the Ko mug.Ko is a very nice guy who makes everyone feel so warm and welcoming because he always wants everyone to be happy. Ko’s have nice faces, a cute laugh and a smile that makes every room brighter. They are always there for their friends and you can always count on Ko. Ko’s tend to be different and unique from the rest of the world just like their name and that’s why you can spot a Ko from a mile away.
