The origin of the word "Spacekees", arguably, comes from Dutch '
stoner' circles, where the words "spacend" and "
kees" were appended. Spacend meaning 'seemingly unreal' or 'mind blowing', and
Kees being a stereotypical Dutch
name (which is nowadays often used in humorous context).
Nowadays the use of the word has
spread to other circles, which do not necessarily need a connection to mind-altering
drugs. Now and then it is just shortened to "Kees" in very clear contexts.
