Kaput is a russian word which means, dead or finished IIRC.

Basically, from old High German for "head", which leads to "decapitated" (getting your head cut off), which somehow leads to a French card game ...

... anyway, fairly common American slang for "dead" :D

This one actually made me smile.

I suspect this particular "joke" has had an opposite effect than all the other ones posted, amusing the ones it usually alienates and vice-versa.

Oh, I don't know. I like most of the jokes posted. But then, I live for humor, anyways, so I'm sure I'm more than a bit skewed. :D

Actually, the OHG kaput is from the Latin capit-, meaning head. I wonder whay they stopped at OHG?
