Kerpal

Kerpal is a fictional character named in a famous prank call (often attributed to the Jerky boys).

The man in the prank call identifies himself as Kerpal and seems to be of ambiguous South Asian descent. A man known as Akhtar (the correct Pakistani name) answers the telephone. Kerpal then alleges that Akhtar's older daughter kicked his dog. After minutes of confusion it is revealed that the daughter knows nothing about kicking Kerpal's dog, let alone who Kerpal is. The call eventually degrades into a shouting match with Kerpal shouting obscenities to no-end.

At least three different Flash animations have been created to visualize this call. The simplest one, thought to be the original and generally most liked, was created by Adam Letalik and published by FlatPlanet.org in late 1999.

Kersal Massive

A UK 'rap' group, featuring 'C-Mack', 'Little Fuckin' Kev' and 'Ginger Joe'.

C-Mack lives by the code 'Fuck, peace!', while Little Fuckin' Kev spends his days smokin' da reefer in the corner of various forms of public transport. Buses, trains, planes; you name it, he'll be smoking a reefer in the corner of it. And what of Ginger Joe I hear you ask? He had only this to say: "Yeah man, yeah man." Wise words from a wise man. These guys don't fuck about.

kerbal

Describes a launch vehicle that is built by strapping together existing components, such as booster rockets or additional stages. It is a reference to the Kerbal Space Program, "create and manage your own space program", which allows players to build custom rockets in exactly that way.
"I would say that of all the new vehicles described here, the Omega is easily the most kerbal since it's just a bunch of parts strapped together." (Scott Manley, "New Glenn, OmegA and Vulcan Get Air Force Approval", YouTube, October 11, 2018, 6:38.)
