Get the Catharina mug.1. Thank you. Backformed slang from adding vowels to the Internet abbreviation KTHX, or "ok, thanks."
Thus far, observed as spoken slang only, although given the ironic usage of "kthx" in the first place, it may not be long before someone sweeps it back up into their chatspeak as part of the Internet's continuing dumbassification.

Get the cathardick mug.Cathalina is a very Asian name. This type of person loves noodles, bubble tea, and loves to play tennis. Cathalina comes from the word, Cathey, meaning "I'm white, look at me". Cathalina takes that word from Americans and turns it into an Asian wonder. A person by this name is very good with computers (especially Photoshop), loves macs, and wishes to go into a movie field. If your name is Cathalina and you want to become a model or anything, drop it and go to the computer field.
