shortening of "k thx bye". The K is short for OK, which is short for oll korrect, which is a facetious alteration of All Correct. thx is short for thanx which is a facetious alteration of thanks which is short for thank you. Bye is short for goodbye, which is an alteration of alteration of God be with you. "kthxbye" is the pinnacle of English's advancement, shortening "All correct, Thank you, God be with you." into seven lowercase letters. Humanity is doomed. Obviously, it is used to end a conversation *fast* that you don't want to be in anymore.

Variant of kthxbye and kthxbai, but with a mordant edge.

The original term kthxbye (okay, thanks, bye) is generally used to terminate a (n online) conversation in a quick manner, often with slight insult to the other party. The implication is that the other person is not even worth talking to.

kthxdie is like that, only more so, and with an added death wish.
Obi wan Kenobi: You can't win, Darth--if you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you could possibly imagine.

Contraction of Ok, thanks, bye.
Used when you want someone to shut up (you're not exactly trying to be polite,) yet it's not considered as an insult like STFU. Also it can be used when answering a stupid n00b question, or after scolding someone.
I'm not arguing anymore. kthnxbai.
Stop that or I'll ban you. kthnxbai.
^ above isn't as insulting as STFU N00B!

KThanks. 

(Pronounced "Kay-Thanks" - One word) Thanking someone for doing something that you aren't really giving them the option to do in the first place. This is always said in a sarcastic tone and there is usually a prolonged emphasis on the "s."
Honey, I know you have the flu, but please go outside and shovel the 7 feet of snow we just got last night. Kthanks.
