KP

Potato peeling punishment

KP stands for kitchen police or kitchen patrol—military slang for enlisted personnel assigned to kitchen duty.

The work involves peeling potatoes, washing dishes, and other menial tasks rather than cooking.

KP duty is often assigned as punishment or simply rotated among low-ranking soldiers: He spent the weekend on KP after mouthing off to the sergeant.
