Kaysville, Utah
A town about twenty miles north of Salt Lake City, totally unremarkable save for being the home of Clover Club potato chips.
 
kicker
Washington Spokane Mission slang for a lazy missionary who habitually breaks the rules.

This may be derived from the New Testament passage in which the Lord appears to Saul on the road to Damascus and says, "I am Jesus whom thou persecutest: it is hard for thee to kick against the pricks" (Acts 9:5).

Then again, perhaps it's derived from the simple phrase "to kick back," meaning "to relax." Beats me.

See also bucket.
 
Kolob
According to Mormon mythology, the star about which orbits the planet on which God lives.

I'm really trying to type this one with a straight face.
