KLOC = 1000 lines of code; generally used as a productivity metric.

I once had a boss who wanted to know how many klocs we'd written each week.
Finally one week, in frustration, I wrote "25 lines. But they were the right
25."

After that he stopped asking about klocs.

I've written 10 lines, removed 250, and edited 15.

I've fixed 5 bugs, but created 2 more.

The feature set was not affected.

Was I productive?

I generally use it as a code-size measure (sort of like "mass" or "weight").

but, yes, there is also the next unit up, or the Mloc, which is 1000000 
lines of code, which may be used to measure or compare the size of 
applications.

I don't measure per-day or per week (and suspect it is likely highly 
variable), but can estimate the average growth rate over longer periods 
of time.


but, yeah, using it as a productivity measure likely has the side effect 
of people writing low-density sprawl-ridden code in order to look better 
to bosses ("why use a function when I get paid more to just endlessly 
copy/paste the same code all over the place?", ...).
